Abstract

ResumenEste trabajo estudia la concentración de mercado del sector farmacéutico colombiano para diferentes grupos farmacológicos, teniendo en cuenta el índice de Hefindahl en los anos 2002 y 2003. Metodológicamente, se parte de los indicadores de mortalidad para el ano 2002, de donde se obtienen las principales causas de muerte para la población mayor de 45 anos, esto es; enfermedades cerebrovasculares e isquemias, diabetes, enfermedades cardiovasculares y enfermedades crónicas de las vías respiratorias inferiores. Dichas patologías fueron atendidas con aproximadamente 507 medicamentos, comerciales y genéricos, por diferentes laboratorios de tipo nacional y multinacional. Como resultado importante se destaca que las patologías fueron atendidas por oligopolios fuertes en el ano 2002, acentuando su posición para el ano 2003.Abstract:This work studies the concentration of market of the Colombian pharmaceutical sector for different farmacológicos groups, considering the index of Hefindahl in 2002 and 2003.
