2013 Methodology for the 2014 Access to Medicine Index

The 2013 Methodology for the 2014 Access to Medicine Index describes the methodology for the next Index and how it was developed.

The methodology for the 2014 Access to Medicine Index remains largely the same as the methodology for the previous Index. The 2014 Index will use the same framework for analysis, which continues to be constructed along seven Technical Areas with indicators measured across four Strategic Pillars.

The weights within the framework remain unchanged and most of the indicators remain the same, though the number of indicators has been reduced. The geographic scope and disease scope have been expanded.
