Global Health Impact —— Extending Access to Essential Medicines

----- 对全球健康的影响：扩大获得基本药物的机会

ISBN: 9780197514993 出版年：2020 页码：319 Hassoun, Nicole Oxford University Press

Nicole Hassoun here makes a philosophical argument for health, and access to essential medicines, as essential human rights, and she proposes the Global Health Impact system as a way to ensure those rights. She reports how life-saving medicines are inaccessible and costly for the global poor, and that rather than focusing on treatments for critical, deadly global health problems, pharmaceutical companies instead invest in more profitable drugs. To address this problem, Hassoun's proposal will rate pharmaceutical companies based on their medicines' impact on the improvement of global health, and will reward highly-rated medicines with a Global Health Impact label.
