Optimization of drug supply to the population as a factor of strengthening public health

this scientific article presents the results of a study on optimizing the drug supply to the population as a key factor in promoting public health. The work is based on an analysis of the availability, range and cost-effectiveness of medicines in a number of medical organizations, as well as on a study of patient and medical professionals' satisfaction with the drug supply system. In the course of the study, the main problems of providing medicines in urban and rural settlements were identified, quantitative and qualitative indicators of the provision of necessary drugs were analyzed, and ways to improve organizational mechanisms and regulatory framework were presented. The results obtained demonstrate that an integrated approach to optimizing drug provision contributes to improving the health of the population and reduces the risks associated with self-medication and delayed receipt of necessary medications by patients.
