Presentation
I am a researcher at Kela Research. The focus of my research is the reimbursement system for prescription medicines. In that context, I currently study the exclusion of medicines from the reimbursement system and the availability of medicines. Previously, I have studied such topics as the information needs that pharmacists have about the national environmental classification of medicines and the pricing of over-the-counter medicines following the deregulation in 2022.
