| Title | United for Good: Centralization of the Pharmaceutical Procurement Process in Ukraine |
| Summary | The area of public pharmaceutical procurement involves several agencies both at global and local levels that are responsible for launching effective mechanisms. Thus, as this process includes different actors and procedures it is very difficult to control its efficiency and check transparency and accountability in order to combat corruption. Centralized pharmaceutical procurement is considered to be one of the policy innovations that aims to improve indicators that are used to assess the efficiency of the procedure. Competitiveness and decision-making timelines are some of these indicators. Ukraine introduced the centralization reform in the sphere of pharmaceutical procurement in 2020. It is expected to increase the competitiveness and the time period of decision-making process as it is proven to create a transparent and fair procurement system. Accordingly, the research question is how this change in legislation affects the level of two indicators mentioned above. The data for the analysis was extracted from the ProZorro e-system and contains information about tenders and expenditures from 2015 until 2022. Such methods as linear regression and propensity score matching were implemented to analyze the data. |
