Abstract

Health services throughout the world face increasing demands on their limited resources, and decisions on the best use of these need to be informed by an examination of the costs and benefits of various options. Health economics provides a structure for this, whereas pharmacoeconomics adopts and applies the principles and methodologies of health economics to the field of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical policy.
