As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

Medicine Pricing Matters

0 comments
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.
