Reframing Pharma through Global Health and Social Science: Evidence Ecologies - Hardcover

by Gregory Patrick Fagan (Author)

This book explores how pharmaceutical evidence is designed, interpreted, and used. It shows how dominant evidence paradigms often struggle to account for time, population heterogeneity, patient experience, and context across contemporary therapeutic and care settings, and advances an evidence ecology approach.
