Abstract
Medicines are frequently used in most health services. They are a high-cost component with high-price dynamics. Analyzing the financial burden of this component is a priority in terms of equity, sustainability, and efficient use of resources. This document supports the standardized measurement of expenditure on medicines by the two most relevant actors: governments and households. By documenting their funding of medicines, policy priorities can be established to better meet treatment needs in each society.
