Universal access to essential medicines as part of the right to health: a cross-national comparison of national laws, medicines policies, and health system indicators.

CONCLUSIONS: International human rights law and WHO policy are embedded in national law for essential medicines and practically implemented in national health systems. Law makers can use these findings and the example texts in this thesis as a starting point for writing and monitoring governments' rights-based legal commitments for access to medicines. Future research should study the effect of national law on access to medicines and population health. PMID: 33131456 [PubMed - in process]
