Abstract
Critical to the successful implementation of a national medicines strategy is evaluation
of the policy and ongoing monitoring of medicine use. Methods for monitoring
medicines use within countries vary depending on the country and its stage of
medicines policy development and implementation. In this paper, we provide four
case studies on monitoring medicines use to support national medicines policy
development and implementation. Cases come from Bhutan, Indonesia, Malaysia
and the Republic of Korea.
