Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20218) has announced the addition of PharmaHandbook 2005 Edition to their offering.
Described as a guide to the international pharmaceutical industry, PharmaHandbook aggregates information and analysis of the business and regulatory environments in leading and emerging
pharmaceutical markets. The wealth of information and level of detail makes PharmaHandbook an unparallel and valuable resource.
Owing to the central role of patents in motivating drug development and permitting compensation of R&D expenditures, the PharmaHandbook introduction profiles key concepts in
intellectual property, with mention of important historical and international considerations.
The individual country coverage in PharmaHandbook is very comprehensive. The description for Germany, for example, provides such details as annual process of physician fee negotiations,
the freedom of patients to select physicians, and the pharmaceutical regulatory structure. Generally, each profile begins with a table of population and GDP figures, healthcare spending
in whole and as compared to numerous metrics, and pharmaceutical sales and spending as a whole and in comparison to relevant metrics.
The exhaustive list of profiled topics include economic outlook and healthcare system structure; pharmaceutical market, regulatory, approval, and pricing systems; generic, R&D,
clinical trial, manufacturing, and distribution statistics and trends; patent and intellectual property issues; and, marketing statistics and methods. Where applicable, charts, tables and
diagrams supplement the profiles.
