This list presents the minimum medicine needs for a basic health care system, listing the most efficacious, safe and cost-effective medicines for priority conditions. Priority conditions are selected on the basis of current and estimated future public health relevance, and potential for safe and cost-effective treatment. Complementary medicines (indicated with a "c" in the first column of the table) are also listed; these medicines need specialized diagnostic or monitoring facilities, and/or specialist medical care, and/or specialist training. In case of doubt, medicines may also be listed as complementary on the basis of consistently higher costs or less attractive cost-effectiveness in a variety of settings.
