EXPENDITURE ON MEDICINES IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY HOSPITAL IN ALMATY BASED ON ABC /VEN ANALYSIS

One of the main problems in modern pharmacotherapy is the irrational use of medicines. An essential role in this practice is played by the unjustified prescribing of antibiotics in medical organizations (MO), both in polyclinics and in hospitals. Medicines that are not included in the list of the Kazakhstan National Formulary (KNF), which increases the cost of Medicines (M) in the Medical Organization (MO), play a very important role. Pharmacoeconomics is a science that compares the costs of medicines and their effectiveness when choosing a treatment tactic for a patient. It helps to determine the best use of budgetary funds. Currently, the question of the rational use of medicines in practical healthcare is being raised, using the methods of pharmacoeconomical analysis (FEA). Research in this field is important for the patient, the state, and also for the pharmaceutical market. Due to the increasing need of the state to assess the effectiveness of the budget spent on various methods of treatment, the demand for conducting pharmaceutical research in Kazakhstan is increasing. This article demonstrates a retrospective research method for evaluating expenditure on medicines using ABC/VEN analysis.
