Why is it important?

Pharmaceutical expenditures are a large and growing component of health spending in all countries. Many countries can learn from Israel's success in this area. Most of the lessons discussed in the article are not limited to Canada.

Perspectives

Happy to pursue similar cross-national learning exercises with colleagues from other countries - either with regard to pharma spending or regading other major topics in health policy.
