quarterly

Since the Health Action International (HAI) and World Health Organization (WHO) first published the medicine prices survey tool in mid-2003, over 50 surveys have been conducted across the globe. The survey tool measures medicine prices, availability, affordability, and price components in the supply chain from manufacturer to patient. A number of countries are considering policy changes in response to survey findings, and some are now regularly monitoring prices and availability, including three African countries: Uganda, Kenya, and Uganda.

The e-bulletin aims to inform on the medicines prices survey work by providing information on on-going survey results, workshops, advocacy campaigns, policy changes, monitoring work, project activities, and publications, etc. Medicine Pricing Matters is published quarterly and is available on the HAI website. Contact HAI to be placed on the mailing list.
