Of the 322 drugs with MSH Price Guide references
- 96 (30%) have no suppliers
- 46 (14%) have one supplier
- 45 (14%) have two suppliers
- 50 (16%) have three, four or five suppliers
- 85 (26%) have more than five suppliers
In the WHO/HAI price survey methodology, how representative reference prices are generally depends on the number of suppliers quoting for each product. tHE WHO/HAI "Measuring medicine prices, availability, affordability and price components" manual cites an example of losartan 50 mg that had no suppliers and a high buyer price, which skewed the survey. Some suppliers are international but others serve only a small region of one country.
