Abstract Introduction: Due to the continued increase in drug and medical supplies expenditure, drug and medical supplies control policies have been implemented since the fiscal year 2017 at Wetchakarunrasm hospital.

This descriptive study aimed to assess the impact of cost control policies on drug and medical supplies expenditure.
