Welcome to the Department of Pharmacoeconomics and Pharmaceutical Administration (DPPA)
Pharmaceuticals are indispensable to healthcare systems, as they reduce morbidity and
mortality rates and enhance patients' quality of life. However, in order to have effective and
efficient use of pharmaceuticals, it is necessary to have access to high-quality, safe, available
and affordable medicines. This is why access to health cares and essential medicines is
increasingly being viewed as a fundamental human right.
Development and diffusion of high technique and expensive health technologies in past
decades has raised serious concerns about fair accessibility of high-quality, safe and affordable
medicines. It is estimated that around 2 billion people (one third of the global population) do
not have regular access to essential medicines. This proportion in some low income countries is‐
increased to one half of the population.
Availability of experts in the fields of pharmacoeconomics and pharmaceutical Administration is
of the key parameters for monitoring, evaluating and reporting the performance of healthcare
systems in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and equity of their services. The DPPA was
developed in summer 2008 in response to this need. The aim of DPPA is to offer high-quality
education in the fields of pharmacoeconomics and pharmaceutical Administration at PhD level.
Message of the Head of the Department
Welcome to the DPPA. Pharmacoeconomics and Pharmaceutical Administration are growing
sharply and have become key components of pharmaceutical policy making and administration,
worldwide. In DPPA, as one of the pioneer Pharmacoeconomics departments in Iran, we offer a
great diversity of knowledge and expertise in both Pharmacoeconomics and Pharmaceutical
3
Administration. In DPPA we offer a broad range of taught courses including Micro and
Macroeconomics, Health Economics, Econometrics, Methods of Economic Evaluation,
Pharmacoeconomics Modeling, innovation management, strategic management, and supply
chain management. We also offer some short course trainings in various management and
applied economics sciences for industrial managers (for example MBA course in pharmaceutical
Administration).
The research interests of DPPA staff encompass a wide range of subjects such as economic
evaluation, outcome measurement, equity, regulation evaluation, health and pharmaceutical
policy evaluation and pharmaceutical Administration.
We hope this move could be efficient in optimum resource management in our country.
About the Department
DPPA was established in 2008 to promote the science of management, economics and policy
making in different aspects of pharmacy, based on research and academic education. This
department is devoted to empirical research and methodological developments in the field of
pharmacoeconomics, pharmaceutical Administration and health policy. Our research focus is on
economic evaluation, health technology assessment, Pharmacoepidemiology, pharmaceutical
systems, management, and policy analysis.
According to the definition of health system (WHO 2000):
"…all the activities whose primary purpose is to promote, restore or maintain health.…" DPPA
could have an important role to help health and pharmaceutical policy makers in achieving this
objective more clearly. Likewise DPPA could help policy makers to attain other goals of health
system, such as efficient responsiveness, and fair financial contribution more successfully.
