Abstract
Dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, perbelanjaan farmaseutikal telah berkembang
lebih cepat berbanding komponen lain yang berkaitan perbelanjaan penjagaan
kesihatan. Secara global, tekanan untuk menguruskan perbelanjaan farmaseutikal
telah membolehkan kerajaan dan organisasi kesihatan bukan kerajaan untuk
menggalakkan penggunaan ubat-ubatan generik. Pada tahun 2012, perbelanjaan outof-poket (OOP) Malaysia terhadap penjagaan kesihatan adalah 79% daripada
perbelanjaan sektor swasta dan ia adalah dua kali ganda tinggi bagi negara-negara
berpendapatan tinggi out-of-poket pembayaran (OOPPs), yang purata 37% daripada
perbelanjaan sektor swasta.
In recent years, pharmaceutical expenditure has grown faster than many of the other
components of healthcare spending. Globally, pressure to manage pharmaceutical
spending has led governments and non-governmental health organizations to
promote the use of generic drugs. In 2012, Malaysia’s out-of-pocket (OOP)
expenditure on healthcare was 79% of private sector spending and it was twice the
high income countries out-of-pocket payments (OOPPs), which average at 37% of
private sector expenses. To bring down the OOPPs and reduce financial burden on
patients in private healthcare sector, it is highly recommended to promote the use of
generics.
