WHO-prequalified generics have substantially improved availability in many low- and middle-income countries. In the EU/EEA, however, no currently available rifapentine formulation has EMA approval, leaving countries dependent on exceptional importation or special-access mechanisms. Full article:

Tuberculosis offers a fascinating window into Francoist Spain’s changing place in the world. In the 1940s, TB connected Spanish public health to the international networks of the Axis. A decade later, it reappeared as Spain entered the WHO-led international health system. #TBsky

There are multiple places where access delays occur, all deserving attention... and yet, per the actual report, the single longest delay, which is entirely within the control of pharma companies wanting to sell drugs faster, is in... those companies themselves filing new drugs w/ Health Canada.🤔
Screenshot of the four paragraphs of the "Timelines across the access pathway" section of the report, with the sentence "Evidence indicates that submissions to Health Canada are often filed significantly later than in peer jurisdictions, by approximately 262 days (median)Footnote7, delaying entry into the Canadian review process." highlighted.
