Abstract: Escalating medicine costs pose a risk to medicine access, particularly in low-and middle-income countries. Several high-income countries have instituted and documented the effects of pricing interventions to address this risk. Low- and middle-income countries, however, usually have less regulated pharmaceutical markets, with scant documented evidence to support successful policy interventions. Policy options for low- and middle-income countries should be transparent, individually tailored based on a country-specific context and cognisant of the associated risks.
