In an era of escalating cost of healthcare, consumers’ access to low-cost generic medicines is essential to reduce healthcare expenditure. However, studies have shown that the uptake of generic medicines among Malaysian consumers remains low although the use of generics is widely encouraged by both government and non-governmental agencies. One of the major reasons for the low uptake of generic medicines among consumers in this country is the unavailability of good educational materials.

Medicines are considered essential public health commodities; perhaps the reason to control medicine prices in majority of the countries. However, Malaysia chooses not to do so and for years Malaysia health authorities and pharmaceutical companies have argued that the medicine prices are reasonable in the country and in many cases the lowest in the region. Nevertheless, for decades, no empirical evidence was available to support these claims. The present book fills this gap and offers an interesting and powerful analysis of the tale of tantalizingly high medicine prices, players in the pharmaceutical market, profit margins of pharmaceutical companies as well as the mark-ups of pharmacists and doctors. The book narrates the result of Malaysia’s free market policies on medicines-all faces are exposed and all tactics are uncovered.

As part of the health policy of a country, national medicine policy should be an essential section which aimed at rational use of pharmaceuticals. World Health Organization supports country to develop, implement and monitor the effectiveness of national medicines policy’s guidelines, strategies and plans. A good and effective national medicine policy will ensure the availability, affordability, accessibility and rational usability of essential medicine, and traditional, complementary and alternative medicine. National medicine policy will make sure that medicines in the country are not only safe, effective and of good quality, but they must also be cost effective. When this book was written, Malaysia still has not had any comprehensive document on the national medicine policy. A study was conducted to evaluate the status of the pharmaceutical sector in relation to the national medicine policy components. This book provides information about the status of medicine policy in the country and to what extent the medicine policy makers recognize and are aware of the existence of medicine policy in the country. How can we expect for effective and reliable policies, if policy makers do not know or are not sure about the national medicine policy and the various medicine policies available in the country! The book is designed for academicians, practitioners, students, as well as policy makers in the health care institutions. The authors hope that these group of readers will appreciate the significant contribution of effective and reliable medicine policy for a country, especially for the developing nations.

The separation of dispensing from doctor or what is simply called dispensing separation is a holty debated health policy proposition in Malaysia but rarely discussed. Each time the issue resurfaced, emotional opposition took place and extinguish the discussion of an important policy change that is long overdue in Malaysia. Consequently, both policy markers and the public are deprived of rational arguments for the policy. This book reported an economic evaluation study that has evaluated the benefit of dispensing separation policy from a Malaysian societal perspective using a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) framework. In the absence of empirical data or controlled trial on the policy, the study has also applied a decision modeling approach that make use of empirical data from published studies. This is the first time suach an approach was used in addressing this issue and we feel that this would have appeal not only to Malaysian policy, but also to other countries that are also contemplating such change.
