28 November 2022
The Lancet Global Health published a paper by Medicines Patent Pool co-authors on expanding access to biotherapeutics in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through public health non-exclusive voluntary intellectual property licensing.
The key elements identified as relevant to support access to affordable biosimilars in LMICs through licensing include:
- prioritising potential biotherapeutic targets according to their potential for public health impact
- supporting biosimilar product and clinical development
- facilitating biosimilars’ entry and use in LMICs
