The availability of Essential Medicines in Hungary shows summary tables that compare the World Health Organization Essential Medicines List (WHO EML) with the National Substitution List (NL) by system organ class. The graphs are color-coded for more natural orientation: WHO EML products are marked blue, NL products are green, and products included in both lists are yellow. Many registrations include the number of individual drug forms, including package sizes and dosage forms, rather than a single registration number. This is because different dosage forms may have different indications. Drugs are categorized by ATC Code; that means some active ingredients are listed in all relevant forms and system organ classes. The dataset is presented as a summary and then in detail by organ class and ATC subclass as relevant/appropriate. The focus of the following analysis is on essential medicines that are not available in Hungary, and evaluation of the situation in the context of public health needs and global drug shortages. To this end, the Essential List of Medicines defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) is compared to the Substitution List, which can be found on the website of The National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition.
2. "We have essentially been avoiding this elephant in the
room for the past twenty years, never daring to state
what we know: namely that the use of public healthcare
services does not reflect the needs of society, but
rather the interests of the institutional system."
Dr. Zoltán Ónodi-Szűcs,
Hungarian Secretary of State for Health (Haynes, 2017)

172. ARETE-ZOE, as a consultancy, provides solutions to complex problems in the
high stakes and high consequence environment of Global Pharmaceuticals,
including clinical research, healthcare informatics, and public
health. We blend established, Pharma sector methodologies, innovation, and
adaptations/transfers from other sectors to identify and resolve consequential
practices that pose risk and often result in avoidable patient casualty. However,
we are specifically, not a patient advocacy group but believe in optimizing
organizational effectiveness and that smart business is agile, competitive and
profitable, while intrinsically safe, secure, and resilient. We work within a global
context because transnational interests influence national circumstances and
choices at point of prescription.
ARETE-ZOE, provides full spectrum organizational and operational risk
management consultancy. Our published materials provide a glimpse of some
aspects of our services to demonstrate both knowledge and ongoing participation
within the Pharmaceutical Industry. Our analysis and consultancy includes all
channels of misuse, diversion, counterfeiting and illicit exploitation of
pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and precursor chemicals. Our advisement is to
manufactures, jurisdictional entities, insurers, legislators, litigators, patients, and
health care providers.
This scope also frequently segues into the nexus of crime and terrorism as
significant influencers that undermine sector integrity differentiated from other
criminal activity. Obviously, vulnerability assessment, information collection
management and intelligence production supporting decision-making for risk
reduction and interventions are routinely within the scope of our services as well
as design and implementation of operational control measures.
