Abstract: Qatar is the world’s highest per capita income non-OECD country as well as having the highest per capita health expenditure in the region. The Qatari pharmaceutical market reached a value of USD 559 million in 2016. There is a difference in pricing of dispensed medicines for Qataris and non-Qataris at the Hamad Medical Corporation health institutions. The development of the pharmaceutical market is shaped by the decision of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) formerly known as Supreme Council of Health (SCH) to abolish government controls over the pricing of medicines and to allow more importing agents and suppliers in the country and has resulted in the adoption of an open market system.
