conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-24, 21:09 authored by Angus ThompsonAngus Thompson, Felicity VealFelicity VealThe Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) is a key component of Australia's National Medicines Policy (NMP), the aims of which are to achieve 'optimal health outcomes and economic objectives'.
