THE AIMS
The IPAM has the purpose of furthering, in close
co-operation with partners drawn from commerce and industry, as well as the
State, economic research into medications, which is to be conducted at any
level of the value chain. The scientific results of work with such partners are to be publicized, allowing IPAM to play an active
role in public discussion concerning the frameworks in which the pharmaceutical
industry operates, and in specific medication debates. By holding regular
functions, IPAM aims to promote the exchange of ideas between manufacturers of
pharmaceuticals, wholesalers, pharmacies, medical practitioners and hospitals,
as well as the research community, on questions of pharmacoeconomics
and medication logistics.
