Jayasree Iyer, CEO of Access to Medicine Foundation, recently shared a post by Access to Medicine Foundation on LinkedIn, adding:

“Cancer medicine shortages within LMICs is an underexamined issue that requires a global dialogue and concrete actions to secure a steady supply of essential medicines. Read more in Danielle Barnum’s viewpoint below.”

Quoting Access to Medicine Foundation’s post:

“‘Shortages and stockouts in high-income countries have hit the headlines, but less attention has been paid to how these issues have long affected cancer patients in LMICs and the impact of these shortages.’

Read the viewpoint.”
