In developing countries, the effect of globalization on the pharmaceutical sector has resulted in a decrease in exportation and domestic production, accompanied by an increase in importation of pharmaceuticals and a rise in prices and expenditures. As an example of a developing country, Turkey has been facing the long-standing and increasing pressure of global regulations placed on its pharmaceutical sector. This has led to an increasing dependency on multinational companies and a gradual deterioration of an already weakened domestic pharmaceutical sector. This case study of Turkey offers points to consider in the world of increasing globalization, as it offers lessons on ways of examining the effects of globalization on the pharmaceutical industry of developing countries.
在发展中国家，全球化对制药行业的影响导致了出口和国内生产的减少，同时药品进口增加，价格和支出上涨。作为一个发展中国家的例子，土耳其长期面临着全球法规对其制药行业施加的不断增加的压力。这导致了对跨国公司的依赖日益增加，以及本就薄弱的国内制药行业逐渐恶化。土耳其的这个案例研究为日益全球化的世界提供了一些需要考虑的要点，因为它提供了有关审视全球化对发展中国家制药行业影响的方法的经验教训。
