WHO technical advisory group on pricing policies for medicines
16 October 2023 - Universal health coverage encompasses the right to safe, quality-assured, effective, and affordable medicines, as stated in Sustainable Development Goal 3.8. However, inconsistent availability and poor affordability are hurdles for both health systems and patients.
The Technical Advisory Group for Pricing Policies for Medicines will support WHO to scale up the implementation of WHO mandates and guidelines, according to national contexts, to strengthen pricing policies, transparency of markets, and affordable access.
