The Raffles Dialogue on Human Wellbeing and Security
Original language description
Tikki Pang and colleagues emphasize that "we must find the right balance between the roles of government and markets so that all those in need can access affordable medicine and health care". Probably the biggest imbalance between role of government and market is in drug discovery and development. There is almost no way how to finance large clinical trials of old, unpatentable drugs repurposed for treatment of deadly diseases. It has been the case of phase III clinical trials of an old antibiotic paromomycin for visceral leishmaniasis funded by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations, the World Health Organization and other institutions, but not governments. At the same time, such clinical trials may lead to very efficient and low-cost drugs developed in the public interest. The cost of paromomycin is EUR4.19 for a 21-day course for a 35 kg patient.
