The consumption of the drugs included in the Model List of Essential Drugs (ED) of WHO was studied in the United Regional Clinical Hospital of Varna for the first time. The purpose of the study was to estimate the consumption of these drugs in the hospital as a whole as well as in every hospital division. The monthly variations of the consumption were analyzed according to the specific activity of these divisions. The mean ED consumption by the patients in all the divisions was calculated. Those of them with the highest frequency of ED usage recommended in the Model List were presented. Certain conclusions about the benefit of the introduction of this Model List of ED and its importance for some hospital pharmaco-economic factors were drawn.
