Access to medicines in the context of the right-to-health framework 2013, para. 54
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The right to health obliges States to ensure that distribution systems function in a manner that secures physical accessibility to quality essential medicines at all points of distribution. The distribution chain places various responsibilities on different entities, and may include private actors, who also have a responsibility to ensure that their actions do not adversely impact on the right to health. Most States consulted by the Special Rapporteur have national regulations in place for distribution of essential medicines in the public and private sector. These regulations cover storage, transport and handling of medicines and temperature sensitive products.
