Why is this Course Important?• Point 1: In a global society, the health of every human being is
relevant to each of us.• Point 2: Prosperity is inextricably linked to health, so it is in our
interest to improve the health of underserved populations.
• Point 3: By reducing human suffering, improved health can contribute to political stability and, in turn,
make other nations more secure.• Point 4: By increasing productivity, improved health can reduce the
need for domestic and/or foreign aid and contribute to international prosperity.
• Point 5: The world is wealthy enough to be able to afford aid• Point 6: We need to honor commitments we have already made.• Point 7: Local and global health interventions work.• Point 8: Improving the health of all people is the right thing to do.

“Underserved Populations”
International Society for Equity in Health, at its inauguralmeeting in Havana in June 2000, adopted the following
definition:Equity in health is the absence of systematic and potentially remediable differences in one or more aspects of health across socially, demographically, or geographically defined populations or population subgroups.(Conversely, inequity in health is the presence of such differences.)
046:127 Pharmaceutical Management for Underserved Populations 12
Equity
“Equity refers to the fair distribution of the costs of health services and the benefits obtained from their use among different groups in the population.”
• Horizontal equity– Equal treatment of equals
• Vertical equity– Individuals who are unequal in society should be treated
differently
International Public Health, 2nd Ed, p517.
046:127 Pharmaceutical Management for Underserved Populations 13
Equity: Financing
• Horizontal– Equal payment by those
with equal ability to pay, e.g. same insurance premium for same income group.
• Vertical– Payment in relation to
ability to pa, e.g. progressive income tax rates
046:127 Pharmaceutical Management for Underserved Populations 14
Equity: Allocating Resources
• Horizontal– Services purchased for
similar groups, e.g., the elderly, should be the same in different geographic areas
• Vertical– Services purchased should
reflect the different needs of different groups, e.g., the elderly versus children
046:127 Pharmaceutical Management for Underserved Populations 15
Equity: Providing Services
• Horizontal– Equal access for equal
need, e.g., equal waiting time for treatment for patients with similar conditions
• Vertical– Unequal treatment for
unequal need, e.g., unequal treatment of those with trivial versus serious conditions

Why Manage the Drug Supply?
1. Essential drugs are critical to the success of health programs
2. Improving the management of drug supply is a high-leverage opportunity to improve health services
3. Knowledge and experience concerning effective drug management are spreading rapidly worldwide, but they remain disparate, un-synthesized and frequently unavailable to decisions-makers.

• BioShield makes little progress four years after creationFour years and $5.6 billion later, the nation's BioShield effort aimed at creating stockpiles of drugs to deal with bioterrorism attacks has made little progress. The program is still months away from releasing its first plan on how it intends to buy drugs, and how many of what types of drugs it plans to stockpile. The Washington Post

The Special Importance of Drugs
• Drugs save lives and improve health• Drugs promote trust and participation in health
services• Drugs are costly• Drugs are different from other consumer products• Substantive improvements in the supply and use
of drugs are possible

Lessons Learned in Drug Management
1. National drug policy provides a sound foundation for managing drug supply.
2. Wise drug selection underlies all other improvements.
3. Effective management saves money and improves performance.
4. Rational drug use requires more than drug information.
5. Systematic assessment and monitoring are essential.
