E-DRUG: 10th Edition of Untangling the Web (September Revision)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
At the bottom of this message, you will find a link to the the 10th Edition
of Untangling the Web of price reductions: a pricing guide for the purchase
of ARVs for developing countries (September Revision), prepared by Médecins
Sans Frontières, Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines.
The September revision was required as some inaccuracies in the 10th
edition were brought to our attention.
For those who already have a hard copy of the 10th Edition, a correction
sheet is also available to download, for printing and insertion into the
document.
The Untangling the Web document was first published in response to the lack
of transparent and reliable information about prices of pharmaceutical
products on the international market. The purpose of the document is to
provide information to help purchasers make informed decisions when
purchasing ARVs. The report is a pricing guide and can not be viewed as a
manufacturers' price list.
Drug by drug, the report details the prices of ARVs quoted by companies,
both originator and generic manufacturers. It provides an analysis of the
evolution in the prices since the first edition and focuses on some of the
key access issues for each product in developing countries.
