Abstract
The overall aim of this paper is to
contribute to the understanding of Resource Allocation and
Purchasing (RAP) arrangements as regards pharmaceuticals in
developing countries. The specific objective of this paper
is to examine the strategic questions that arise, when
pursuing an active purchasing and resource allocation
strategy for drugs, as well as the actual practice and
experience from applying different RAP strategies to promote
access of the poor to essential drugs, i.e. availability of
affordable essential drugs of good quality and appropriate
and efficient use of drugs.
