Access to Medicine Index: Can a global scorecard framework promote a system of public accountability across the pharmaceutical sector to support increased access to essential medicines in developing countries?
Abstract
This report reviews the Access to Medicine Index (AMTi) in positively changing the
pharmaceutical industry. This report notes a number of opportunities for the ATMi
to improve its engagement with stakeholders. The current level of engagement between
the ATMf and stakeholders, at least on a public level, is not strong. Consistent
with the values the ATMi desires to encourage across the pharmaceutical sector, it
must also espouse greater levels of objectivity, accountability, transparency and
collaboration in order to further contribute to addressing the challenge of access
to essential medicines.
