The use of a limited list to restrict the range and type of medication used by medical institutions that operate under the auspices of the provincial authorities has been mooted as one possible method of cost containment. This study discusses the implementation of such measures in other countries and then quantifies the cost savings that might be obtained in the South African case. The possible savings are somewhat offset by other costs such a measure would introduce.
使用有限清单来限制由省级政府支持运营的医疗机构所使用药物的范围和类型，已被提议作为一种可能的成本控制方法。本研究讨论了此类措施在其他国家的实施情况，然后对南非可能实现的成本节约进行了量化。这种措施可能带来的节约在一定程度上被它所引入的其他成本所抵消。
