Value for Money Through Measures to Improve Health Outcomes. Managing Expenditure on Medicines and Health Technologies in Sudan

      Аннотация: While advances in health technology over the last several decades have greatly improved life span and welfare in society, it is often perceived that the cost of these innovations has not been adequately offset by their benefit. Increased health care budgets in most countries have emphasized the need to demonstrate value for money from expenditure on health technologies. This book discusses measures that secure the provision of safe and effective medicines to Sudanese patients at reasonable prices, through efficient and competitive procurement and supply of medicines. These measures are realised through integrated application of relevant national policies and strategies which, taken together, result in affordable, efficient procurement and supply chain services and uninterrupted availability of health commodities, leading to sustained provision of quality health services and ultimately positive health outcomes.
