Journal Title: Eurasian Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Science is progressing a lot in recent years. Remarkable advances have been achieved in the field of health care technology. However, unfortunately, medicines are still the only hope for treating diseases for thousands of people in developing countries around the world. An effective National Drug Policy might be a lifesaving step for many people in these countries. Fortunately, that happened in Bangladesh after the 1982 Drug Policy. In the meantime, the country has further editions of that policy, which were National Drug Policy 2005 & 2016. In this article, this research will discuss the comparative impact scenario of these policies in Bangladesh. Readers will know the past and present of the National Drug Policy of Bangladesh and will be able to assume the future of this policy in Bangladesh.
