Public Health Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights

World Health Organisation (who)

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The World Health Organization considered that its mission demanded it should play a part in this debate, with the objective of illuminating how intellectual property rights might affect public health. There was the need for governments in the north and south, pharmaceutical companies, scientists and other stakeholders, to consider how diseases which disproportionately affect developing countries could best be addressed, and to seek solutions.
