"This thoughtful and comprehensive book represents the best work I
have seen on the current situation concerning medication policies
in the EU. It is not just that this is a very up-to-date compendium
of facts and data across a wide variety of domains that impact on
pharmaceutical regulation. The book is also strong on analysis of
those facts as well." Jerry Avorn, Harvard Medical School. "This
book offers a comprehensive examination of approaches to manage
pharmaceutical expenditures in Europe. It is a must-read for those
who seek to understand and navigate the changing regulatory
environment for medicines in the European Union." Bernie O'Brien,
McMaster University, Canada. The rising cost of pharmaceutical
expenditures in many European countries is of concern to
governments required to make effective use of health care budgets.
Taking a broad perspective that encompasses institutional,
political and supranational aspects of pharmaceutical regulation,
this book examines approaches used to manage pharmaceutical
expenditure across Europe and what impact these strategies have had
on efficiency, quality, equity and cost of pharmaceutical
care.Regulating Pharmaceuticals in Europe is an important book for
students of health policy, regulation and management, and for
health managers and policy makers.The editors: Elias Mossialos is
