Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At least three of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) i.e. to reduce child mortality, improve maternal health and combat HIV/AIDS, malarial and other diseases are directly dependent on access to essential medicines. Thus, ensuring availability and access to affordable and high-quality medicines is fundamental to achieving some of the MDGs. However, serious barriers to accessing essential medicines in many parts of the world, especially in low-income countries persist.
In this special issue, we want to explore Pharmaceutics research relevant to improving access to essential medicines, especially in low-income communities around the world. We are keen on cross-disciplinary research exploring opportunities in formulation/development, diagnostics, education, logistics, economics, communication, etc. within the wider scope of pharmaceutical sector and are aimed at improving access to medicines and ultimately healthcare.
We welcome research reports, reviews and other relevant communications from participants in pharmaceutical research, industry and regulation worldwide. We are keen to hear from researchers creating ‘home-grown solutions’ to address challenges which limit access to medicines in their local regions.
