Access to medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is a complex challenge and there is no ‘one size fits all solution. It requires deep understanding of the context, actors, economics and operational functions. The payer (global donors, national governments and private out-of-pocket) and procurer (supranational, national and sub-national) environment for LMIC markets is complex, heterogeneous across therapeutic categories, and is also rapidly-changing/evolving. Companies find it increasingly difficult to navigate this environment. Global market access teams have to learn new techniques and skills to understand this multi-stakeholder environment. This course brings together a faculty team with vast and rich experience in the theory and practice of access to medicines to help navigate/make decisions to be successful in LMIC markets.
While grounded in strong theory, the course will use case studies and practical examples as a pedagogical approach. The high profile of the international experts and the faculty involved in the course will ensure a highly interactive and rewarding learning environment.
