CANAMED and Romanian Medicine Discontinuation Register: 2008-2024

Oana - Teodora Chirac's dataset contains structured historical data from the Romanian National Catalogue of Medicine Prices (CANAMED) and the National Register of Medicine Discontinuations, published by the Romanian National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (ANMDMR). It includes multiple yearly versions of CANAMED files covering selected years between 2008 and 2024, alongside an official registry of medicine discontinuations. These data provide a longitudinal perspective on regulated prices and market availability within the Romanian pharmaceutical system.

Use Cases

• Analyzing pharmaceutical pricing policy changes over time based on the longitudinal CANAMED price catalogue.
• Researching medicine shortages and market availability using the official discontinuation register.
• Studying the impact of regulatory changes on drug prices and supply in Romania.
• Conducting comparative analyses of medicine price regulation across different years.

Strengths

• Provides a longitudinal perspective with data covering selected years from 2008 to 2024.
• Sourced from official regulatory bodies (ANMDMR), lending institutional authority.
• Combines two complementary data streams: regulated price lists and discontinuation records.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row counts are not provided, limiting understanding of data structure.
• The temporal coverage is described as 'selected years between 2008 and 2024', implying potential gaps.
• The dataset size (7,514,208 bytes) is given, but its composition across the two components is unclear.
