Medicine Price Surveys
How much do people in your country pay for the medicines they need? Can everyone afford them? Are people in your country paying more for medicines compared to consumers in other countries? Can anything be done?
Pricing surveys have been conducted in 13 African countries to answer these questions. The results of 9 of these countries: Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda are available.
The surveys were carried out using a methodology developed by the World Health Organization and Health Action International.
Access to medicines is affected by many factors, of which price is one of the most important. The price paid for medicines has major implications on accessibility to healthcare. Often, for poor individuals, price determines whether a patient receives a full course of therapy, an incomplete course, or no medicines at all.
