  • Public patient forwarding to private pharmacies

    Open AccessAnnie Haakenstad, Anuska Kalita et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: In India, public sector patients purchase drugs from private pharmacies instead of obtaining them for free from public pharmacies-a phenomenon we call public patient forwarding to private pharmacies.

However, over 95 perc…

While multilaterals are uniquely positioned to transcend national priorities …

Panama instituted a sex-segregated mobility policy to limit people’s circulation whereby women were allowed to leave the home for essential services on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and men on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Through a retrospective analysis of Global Positioning System…

OBJECTIVE: To compare potential drivers of spending, such as structural capacity and utilization, in the United States with those of 10 of the highest-income countries (Un…

The Ebola epidemic raised a crucial question: what reforms are needed to mend the fragile global system for outbreak prevention and response, rebuild confidence, and prevent future …
