Imported Drugs Account for Around 60% of Slovenia's Pharmaceutical Market

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c10132) has announced the addition of Slovenia Pharmaceutical Country Intelligence Report to their offering

(PRWEB) November 27, 2004 -- Whatever your needs, whether you are monitoring developments in national markets, identifying new opportunities, assessing product areas, or using the data as an integral part of your market planning, WPM's country reports are invaluable. Sections are included on the organisation and administration of health services, healthcare expenditure, hospital and outpatient services, medical personnel and healthcare development. Issues relevant to the pharmaceutical market environment are outlined, including regulation, registration, patent protection and distribution. The market section includes data on domestic production and international trade.

The Slovenian pharmaceutical market is relatively advanced, if small. Slovenian medical care is generally the best in eastern Europe, spurred on by the early introduction, in 1992, of a universal healthcare insurance system. The country has a sizeable domestic industry, although this concentrates on supplying export markets. Imported drugs account for around 60% of the market. There are difficulties in the market, however. Regulations are not yet fully aligned with the EU, and government pricing/reimbursement policies have hit hard over the past two or three years. Weak IP laws have helped domestic producers, but at the expense of the multinational industry.
