Responsible Decision-Making Saves Lives
Access to Medicine
Cambridge Governance Labs hosted a symposium on the use and abuse of intellectual property. This shone a light on how intellectual property rules are circumvented to perpetuate the kind of monopoly pricing that denies citizens access to lifesaving medicines. Techniques such as evergreening, pay for delay, double counting regulatory capture places medicines beyond the reach of many living in the global North as well as in developing countries.
