Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to review the relevant previous literature to provide insights into maximizing the effectiveness of healthcare logistics through the application of pharmacoeconomics. It investigates pharmacoeconomic evaluation validity in Egypt by examining pricing, reimbursement, and evaluation of pharmacoeconomics. It helps to identify problems and areas for improvement. Design, methodology, and approach: This paper reviews the prior literature, particularly on publications published after 2013 when the Egyptian Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation Unit was established. Findings: Considering the results of this study, Egypt appears to be off to a promising start in its pharmacoeconomic evaluation--additionally, the advancement of pharmacoeconomics aids in the optimization of healthcare logistics. Practical implications: This study provides recommendations on how Egyptian Pharmacy and Therapeutic (P&T) decision-makers can best utilize pharmacoeconomics to lower healthcare logistics costs and maintain a high level of service. Originality/value: This review will be valuable for both academics and practitioners. From a research perspective, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the literature on the application of pharmacoeconomics to reduce healthcare logistics costs in developing countries. It also identifies possible research directions. To effectively manage healthcare logistics costs, it provides an authoritative viewpoint on the effectiveness of pharmacoeconomics implementation.
