Human medicines covered by VZP in SR by ATC group of medicinal products, diagnosis and sex

Statistical outputs provide a detailed overview of the consumption of prescribed medicinal products for human use in the territory of the Slovak Republic, approved by the relevant health insurance company in the framework of the provision of health care according to the ATC group, diagnosis and sex of the insured person. They are thus an important supporting source for the analysis of drug consumption data. The methodological differences in the collection and processing of the data of the above-mentioned source do not make it possible to compare the outputs with those of the statistical surveys L (MZ SR) 1-04 and L (MZ SR) 2-04, which are a comprehensive picture of the consumption of medicinal products in the Slovak Republic and are a source of international comparisons.
