Access to medicines in the context of the right-to-health framework 2013, para. 49
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- International shortage of medicines, especially cancer medicines, was also raised as an issue by civil society participants to the survey. Such shortages in medicines are attributed to a limited number of manufacturers, shortages of raw materials, production problems and stockpiling. They negatively impact States' ability to procure medicines for public health facilities and seriously affect their availability to patients. States should therefore identify particular medicines markets that face such shortages and promote the development of local production of these medicines to ensure supply sustainability in the long term.
