In low and middle-income countries, around 17.6 million people each year die of treatable infectious diseases, reproductive health issues, and childhood illnesses. Millions more experience poor quality of life from chronic diseases. http://www.bharatbook.com/healthcare-market-research-reports/generics-as-a-vehicle-to-improve-market-access.html

The high costs of developing innovator drugs means that those treatments are often out of reach for least developed and developing countries, and even in developed countries. Affordable generics offer one major solution to this monumental problem. As such, some governments have used compulsory licensing to secure generics, if a voluntary license is not forthcoming.

However, with more patent owners recognizing that market access has shareholder value as well as patient benefits, voluntary licenses are becoming increasingly desirable.

Generics as a Vehicle to Improve Market Access summarises different approaches to providing generics as a route to improve market access and evaluates the impacts of these strategies.

Report Overview
Generics as a Vehicle to Improve Market Access features exclusive perspectives from key people in the field of market access, including representatives from the pharmaceutical and generics industries, consultants specialising in generics and market access, and individuals from independent market access organisations, such as a voluntary licensing model.
