Fourth the enormous investment in accessible

Fourth, the enormous investment in accessible medicines and medical products without investment in checking their quality is profoundly illogical. WHO estimates that only 7% of sub-Saharan countries had a “moderately functioning MRA”. We cannot expect the world\'s medicine supply to improve without coordinated functional MRAs. They are essential for the interventions needed, and to ensure that the benefits of increased accessibility to free or inexpensive internationally financed medicines and inexpensive generics are translated effectively into improved public health. The Access to Medicines movement has been very important in improving access to essential medicines; however, much more emphasis is needed now on access to good quality medicines.
