Market Influence & Compliance is one of the seven Technical Areas measured in the Access to Medicine Index. It looks at how companies interact with (or finance) external organisations, such as governments, patient groups and think tanks. It also examines evidence of breaches of ethical marketing codes, corruption and bribery, and how companies mitigate the risks of breaches occurring.
