When I talk to executives from pharmaceutical companies they tell me that they want to do more for neglected diseases, but they at least need to get credit for it. The Access to Medicine Index does exactly that.

Africa has been overlooked when it comes to research and development of life-saving medical commodities, including COVID-19 vaccines. Free market demand and supply principles will not work on their own without an equitable access dimension. The Access to Medicine Foundation is important for accountability - tracking how and where healthcare companies live up to their commitments; as well as encouraging them to do better – in bridging gaps in equitable access to health products and achieving universal health coverage.
