Sažetak
Croatian market of medicines is constantly growing. The population's life expectancy increases, living standards are getting higher, and pharmaceutical products' demand is growing. The implications of an aging population and the increase in medicines' consumption are becoming increasingly apparent in health care costs and represent a burden to the health care system This study identifies institutional mechanisms that directly enable the health care system and the state insures to reduce prescription medicines' prices. It also analyses such mechanisms' effectiveness by reviewing the average prescription price in the past five year, from 2015 to 2019.
