Healthcare is increasingly dependent on the use of an astonishing variety of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Health Managers need to know :-
How to ensure universal access to essential medicines and devices
How to write specifications when processing these so that we get the best value for money
How to assess technologies that public health systems should adopt for increased effectiveness and those that we should avoid, due to reasons of safety or poor cost effectiveness
How to identify areas where new technologies appropriate to our needs are invented and to develop an ecosystem that focus on such innovations.
