Access to essential medicines, education and training in pharmaceutical care in developing countries is critical to improving the health of the population.

According to WHO, the irrational or not rational drug use is a major global problem. It is estimated that more than half of all medicines are prescribed, distributed or sold inappropriately. At the same time, about one third of the world population lacks access to essential drugs.
