General information about obtaining products
-
How products are obtained varies according to national health care policy / healthcare insurance provision
-
As there are many local factors you will need to find out what is available to you in your country
-
Several countries have one or more local organisations that provide specific information and advice
-
Other countries may not have the information you require easily accessible through a single organisation
-
Please be aware that organisations vary as some are more orientated towards consumers and others to health care professionals. This means that the relevance to you of the information contained in them will also vary
-
If you can’t find the information you need through organisations in your country, you may still find useful guidance from organisations of other countries.
