Improving access to medicines: is it a matter of political will?
To launch the new issue of Heath Exchange, over 50 participants took part in a discussion in London on 17 April 2010, about improving access to medicines. The debate revolved around whether improving access to medicines is a matter of political will. Andrew Chetley, Executive Director of Healthlink Worldwide, started the event with a presentation and encouraged comments from the participants.
