Perspective sur la responsabilité de l’industrie pharmaceutique dans la promotion de la recherche pédiatrique et dans l’accès aux médicaments essentiels
L’industrie pharmaceutique a permis à de nombreux patients d’améliorer leur santé. Mais elle reste critiquée à cause d’un certain désengagement envers les maladies dans les pays en voie de développement et notamment les maladies pédiatriques. Considérant le cercle vicieux de la pauvreté et de la maladie affectant les enfants dans ces pays, il apparait primordial que les multinationales pharmaceutiques impliquent leur responsabilité à plusieurs niveaux : par la mise en place d’actions concrètes pour mener plus de recherches sur les enfants, vu leurs besoins ; puis en rendant les médicaments accessibles à un plus grand nombre d’enfants.
