Comments
The Haiti 2011 survey collected price and availability data for 59 medicines and 1 asthma spacer device. Of these, 11 did not have international reference prices. For each medicine data was collected for the originator brand, highest priced generic in the facility, and the lowest priced generic in the facility. Data for only 50 of these medicines was able to be lodged in this database. All had international reference prices except morphine oral solution. Only data for the originator brand and lowest priced generic was able to be lodged in the database. However, all the findings are available in the survey report. Note: The mixed not-for-profit sector is Ministry of Health personnel working in private institutions, NGOs or religious organisations. There is no EML in Haiti.
