Drug policy, strategy and regulation of pharmaceutical products along the supply and value chain

Abstract

The healthcare system and the drug policy connected to it carry into effect certain social functions and form one of the most vital systems of society. At the same time, the realization of these functions can be carried out at several different levels - regional, national, European and global. Drug policy and pharmaceutical production are characterized by highly pronounced regulatory mechanisms. In the modern conditions of pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, the importance of processes related to the supply chain management in the context of ensuring the security and reliability of supplies, as well as in relation to the potential changes in the value chain, is increasing.
