RESUMEN
El artículo presenta datos globales sobre el acceso a los productos farmacéuticos y examina las barreras subyacentes. Dos de ellas son claramente visibles: las políticas de fijación de precios, y los derechos de propiedad intelectual; otras dos son menos reconocidas: el medio regulatorio y las capacidades científicas y tecnológicas. Dos transiciones en curso infl uencian
e incluso distorsionan el problema del acceso universal a los medicamentos: la transición epidemiológica hacia una carga cada vez mayor de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles; y el creciente papel de los productos biotecnológicos (especialmente los productos inmunobiológicos) en la farmacopea. Se utilizan los ejemplos de Cuba y Brasil para explorar lo que
puede y debe hacerse para solventar los aspectos comerciales, regulatorios y tecnológicos de garantizar el acceso universal a los medicamentos.
