Progress and Gaps in National Medicines Policy Implementation in SADC Member States: A Comprehensive Desktop Review

Abstract

A national medicine policy (NMP), previously known as a national drug policy (NDP), represents a governmental pledge and strategic framework designed to ensure that medicines are safe, effective, of reliable quality, accessible, affordable, and used rationally. This study provides the first comprehensive examination of how the 16 countries within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have implemented various components of their NMPs over a ten-year period (2011–2021).
