E-DRUG: Access to HIV treatment: key data: prices, regulatory status, tariffs, intellectual property situation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear e-druggers,
WHO just published a study on "Increasing access to HIV treatment in
middle-income countries: key data on prices, regulatory status, tariffs and
the intellectual property situation".
The paper provides information on the prices paid by 20 middle-income
countries for adult and paediatric formulations of antiretroviral treatments
recommended by WHO. It links this information with an analysis of the
intellectual property situation of the selected medicines taking into
account existing license agreements as well as compulsory licenses, and
includes data and general information on a number of other determinants of
prices and availability of ARVs, including tariffs, mark ups and taxes, as
well as the regulatory status.
