E-DRUG: Oxfam briefing: One year since HLP report
--------------------------------------------------------------
High-priced Medicines and Lack of Needs-Driven Innovation: A global crisis
that fuels inequality
New opportunities and challenges one year after the landmark report of
the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines
On 14 September 14 2016, the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on
Access to Medicines publicly released its final report entitled ‘Promoting
innovation and access to health technologies’.
One year after the release of the landmark report and building upon
Oxfam’s September 2016 assessment, this paper provides an update on where
the HLP report and its recommendations stand. It assesses the level of
implementation by countries and institutions – especially the UN and the
World Health Organization – and recommends ways to use the report to
improve both innovation and access to medicines.
