Cost as a barrier to access healthcare
Even before the current COVID-19 crisis, affordability of and access to medications was a significant issue worldwide. The price of medicine remains a significant barrier to access. It leads millions to not take their medications as prescribed – or even at all – due to cost. This poses a considerable risk to their well-being, as these medications could save lives, prevent illness and suffering, and allow individuals a chance at living a better quality of life. We all may know someone who has struggled to obtain a medication they need. It truly affects us all.
