pharmaceutical与health care的区别是什么？

xiexiang

单从字面上看，pharmaceutical指的是制药，health care指的是卫生保健。但两者的区别是什么？还是都是一样的吗？
从duke的 career report看，pharmaceutical与health care是分开的？
从行业划分来说，强生、礼来、辉瑞、默克这些公司是属于pharmaceutical还是health care？

制药应该是health care的一个子集吧。每个学校划分都不太一样，有的会分开，有的就是一个大类。

Pharmaceutical is strictly drug makers, so Merk, Eli Lilly, Pfizer are all

pharmas.  J&J are sort of different, it has a pharma sector, but other products

such as lotions and diapers are considered consumer product.  

Health Care generally refer to the industry related to the health system.  so

health insurance, HMOs, hospitals, public health organizations, as such.
