Drugs are generally considered as consumer goods which serve to protect, maintain and restore health. In recent years, the proportion of national expenditure devoted to health has increased in all developing countries. The use of generic drugs can reduce health costs, if part of a national drug action plan, and their quality is confirmed (quality control, distribution system, correct utilization). Nevertheless, a large proportion of the population in developing countries has no access to these drugs. This situation requires establishing financing schemes for drug supplies, with community involvement and participation of the population. However, such schemes can result in limited access and inequity.
药物通常被视为用于保护、维持和恢复健康的消费品。近年来，所有发展中国家用于卫生保健的国家支出比例都有所增加。如果作为国家药物行动计划的一部分且其质量得到确认（质量控制、分销系统、正确使用），使用仿制药可以降低医疗成本。然而，发展中国家很大一部分人口无法获得这些药物。这种情况需要建立药物供应融资计划，让社区和民众参与其中。然而，此类计划可能会导致获取机会有限和不公平现象。
