"It then takes herculean efforts over many years to make the new technologies accessible in LMICs. Efforts include extensive advocacy campaigns, product buy-downs, compulsory licensing, patent challenges, efforts to create competition, advanced market commitments, creation of alliances (e.g. Gavi, Global Drug Facility), creation of non-profit R&D groups (e.g. DNDi) etc...The alternative is to develop technologies & solutions in the Global South, and scale them up, to meet the pressing needs of LMICs."
