Popis: Pharmaceutical policies in Europe were described in the previous issue of the journal. These policies were described in 5 areas: regulation and access; pricing, price control, and cost; publicly administered drug insurance; patient advocacy; and research ethics. While the underlying policy issues are strikingly similar, each country has developed its own set of solutions to address them. This article provides insight into the Canadian drug policy environment by comparing and contrasting it with the European experience.
