Access to medicines in the context of the right-to-health framework 2013, para. 15
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Investing in local production as a long-term strategy holds the promise of improving medicines security in developing countries. Fulfilling this goal would require, inter alia, a coherent policy framework that explicitly links local production to improved access to medicines and is backed by strong political commitment. The Special Rapporteur notes with satisfaction that in this respect a regional plan of action was drawn up for local production of essential medicines aiming to promote access to medicines in the east African region by the East African Community.
