Innovative Approaches to Increase Access to Medicines in Developing Countries

Abstract: Access to essential medicines is problematic for one third of all persons worldwide. The price of many medicines (i.e., drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics) is unaffordable to the majority of the population in need, especially in least-developed countries, but also increasingly in middle-income countries. Several innovative approaches, based on partnerships, intellectual property, and pricing, are used to stimulate innovation, promote healthcare delivery, and reduce global health disparities. No single approach s… Show more

“…Additionally, many countries around the planet, especially of LMICs, suffer from poor access to EM and PHC [152][153][154][155][156][157] . on many occasions, national authorities/governments of LMICs do not much control over medicine prices, maybe because of the adoption of free-market policies [158][159][160][161][162] . However, researchers of the Department Health Economics and Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA, recommended that the US government should carefully control medicine prices 163 .…”

“…More generally, pricing and availability of medications, not least anticancer treatments, are global health care challenges, and innovative solutions must be encouraged . In certain markets, for example, one option may be public–private partnerships, including collaborations designed specifically to promote access to biosimilars .…”

“…L'ECRAID fournit, en outre, un environnement particulièrement favorable au développement industriel d'innovations diagnostiques et thérapeutiques pouvant répondre à des enjeux majeurs de santé publique, dans des domaines souvent perçus comme peu attractifs par le privé, comme l'antibiorésistance. Si les partenariats public-privé relèvent souvent du mariage de raison, ils peuvent devenir des mariages de coeur, lorsqu'ils visent à promouvoir le transfert de connaissance et de savoir-faire afin d'améliorer l'accès aux médecines essentielles dans les pays à ressources limitées [8]. Les pays les plus pauvres portent le plus lourd fardeau de maladies contagieuses et non contagieuses et sont les plus exposés aux épidémies résultant de changements sociétaux et environnementaux [9].…”

“…Or, ces pays ne peuvent s'offrir la plupart des innovations diagnostiques, vaccinales et thérapeutiques proposées dans les pays industrialisés. Dans ce contexte, les PPP et PDP (partenariats pour le développement de produits) sont des approches multisectorielles pertinentes pour faciliter l'enregistrement de produits, leur production locale et leur distribution pour combattre des maladies endémiques dans ces pays [8]. Ils contribuent à l'élaboration de solutions diagnostiques et de traitements adaptés aux conditions locales, qui peuvent parfois bénéficier en retour aux pays industrialisés.…”
