Authors Info & Claims
Published:25 August 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Substandard and falsified drugs becomes a major problem around the world for years. Despite many cases occurred and cause not only huge financial loss but some cases reported with mortality, the existence of substandard and falsified drugs continuing and increasing rampantly. As an essential substance in human lives, these problems need the greatest attention and collaboration among parties to address the issue. This paper maps the problems through many sources and using a system dynamics approach to generate a structural model of variables in the drugs ecosystem. In the later stage, the model will be simulated under various scenarios to seek policy options in substandard and falsified drugs matters.
