Abstract ABSTRACT
Pharmacoeconomic evaluation plays a vital role in optimizing healthcare resource utilization, particularly in the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of antidiabetic drug therapy provided in government hospitals versus private hospitals and to assess the economic burden on patients. The primary objective of the study is to identify prescription pattern by using WHO core investigators. A comparative pharmacoeconomic evaluation was conducted using cost-minimization and cost-effectiveness approaches. Data were collected from patient records in selected government and private hospitals, including direct medical costs such as medication costs, laboratory investigations, consultation fees, and hospitalization charges.
The study highlights that government hospitals offer a more cost-effective approach for the management of diabetes mellitus, particularly for patients from low and middle socioeconomic backgrounds. Pharmacoeconomic evaluation of antidiabetic therapy can support policymakers and healthcare providers in decision-making to improve affordability, access, and rational use of medicines. Enhancing the availability of economic burden of diabetes and improve overall healthcare outcomes.
