Essential Drugs of Nepal

Subject: Basic Science Applied to Nursing

Overview

The majority of the population's main healthcare needs are met by the pharmaceuticals that are regarded as important. Disease prevalence, information on safety and efficacy, and comparative cost-effectiveness are all taken into consideration when choosing necessary drugs.

Purpose:

Essential pharmaceuticals should always be available in adequate quantities, in the right dose forms, with assured quality, and at a price that both the person and the community can pay in the context of functional healthcare systems. A nationwide list of necessary drugs was initially issued in 1986.
