Chapter 3 Access to Medicines – More Than Just Affordability Andy Gray, Prakash Jeena, and Atieno Ojoo Introduction The importance of medicines in any health system, be that in a developing or developed country, has been succinctly summarized in the basic text relied upon by many pharmaceutical managers – MDS-3: Managing Access to Medicines and Other Health Technologies (Management Sciences for Health, 2011) [1]: medicines are costly, but they “can save lives and improve health, and they promote trust and participation in the health system”.
Conclusions and Recommendations Access to essential medicines for children is a complex construct, which requires attention to all elements of the medicines use cycle (selection, procurement, distribution and use), but also to issues related to health-seeking behaviour, beliefs and practices at a community and individual level, as well as to the broader governance of the health system and its component parts. It also requires active engagement with research and development entities and manufacturers as partners.
In well-resourced countries where the population is aware of its human rights and is able to exercise such rights through mature systems of governance, demand for equitable access to quality health care, including access to appropriate medicines for all, is likely to be met by the health system. However, in countries where health systems are competing with other pressing needs, and where populations are unaware of their basic health rights, or unable to exercise those rights freely, access to health services, including medicines for children, may be severely restricted.
