Aim: To discuss the perspectives of providers of healthcare services and the people accessing them about how self-care can contribute to universal health coverage. Traditionally, the distribution of medicines to consumers has been organized through heavily regulated networks of physical pharmacies. The strict regulation of market structure has been in place to ensure the safety, accessibility and affordability of medicines, but it has also limited competition in the pharmacy sector.
Nowadays, the regulation of pharmacies differs between countries, and this has created different market conditions for online pharmacies to operate. In some countries the online sales of medicines have grown considerably during the recent years as consumers have become more accustomed to e-commerce. More lately the Covid pandemic has dramatically shaped the e-commerce landscape.
Due to the pandemic, the demand for online services of pharmacies has increased significantly in many countries. It is also likely that this has changed preferences for some consumers permanently and demand should therefore remain at a higher level in the future.
