Cardiovascular disease essential medicines listing by countries: changes over time and association with health outcomes.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord

January 2025

MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael's Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, 80 Bond Street, Toronto, ON, M5B 1X2, Canada.
