Joshua Budhu, Neuro-Oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Proud to share this new Health Affairs Forefront piece, “Essential Drugs Must Be Affordable and Accessible.”
Huge shout-out to Merna Shohdy for leading this work- I had the chance to mentor her on this piece, and seeing her voice and arguments take shape has been a real highlight. Special thanks to Edward Cliff and Cleopatra Elshiekh.
The article breaks down why essential medications remain inaccessible for too many patients, and what policy changes could actually move the needle. It’s clear, timely, and grounded in the real challenges we see every day.
Grateful to play a small role in supporting the next generation of health equity leaders.
