Access to healthcare is one of the world’s most pressing social challenges.
Every year millions of people in developing countries die from curable infectious diseases because they do not have access to basic healthcare services, including essential medicines. Millions more are unnecessarily exposed to the threat of ill health through inadequate or ineffective disease prevention strategies.
The access problem is not confined to the developing world. For example, in the US many people suffer unnecessary ill health because they do not have healthcare insurance.
Over the last decade, the pharmaceutical industry has helped to address healthcare challenges in the developing world by researching new medicines and making them more available and affordable. In the United States, GSK gives away more than $1.3 million dollars (wholesale acquisition cost) in medicine every day to reach those who need help.
