For the past decades, promoting the use of quality-assured generic medicines has been a major policy to help countries make steps towards universal health coverage, as generic medicines deliver health outcomes at much lower costs than their originator counterparts. From controlling HIV, HCV, blood
cholesterol to cancer, the impact of generic medicines on global health has been firmly cemented. Its storied role in our society has even been made into movies. In this webinar, the panelists will present suites of policies in China, France and South Africa to promote the use of quality-assured generic medicines. They will discuss how policies have evolved over time to ‘mainstream’ generic medicines in their contexts.
