Universities Allied for Essential Medicines |
|
Many of the world's most essential medicines are wholly or partly developed
in academic
laboratories. Their accessibility to the poor in developing countries is
profoundly affected by the research, licensing and patenting decisions made
by universities.
As members of these institutions of higher learning, we believe that universities have an opportunity and a responsibility to improve access to affordable medicines--particularly those they have helped develop--throughout the world.
