How this measure is built
- Definition
- Compound annual growth rate of per capita medicine use.
- Measure
- One slice of Medicine use ( basis: per capita, form: growth ) . Total volume or quantity of medicines utilized by a population. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. 3 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
