Many people in developing countries lack access to health
technologies, even basic ones. Why do these problems in access
persist? What can be done to improve access to good health
technologies, especially for poor people in poor countries?
This book answers those questions by developing a comprehensive
analytical framework for access and examining six case studies to
explain why some health technologies achieved more access than
others. The technologies include praziquantel (for the treatment of
schistosomiasis), hepatitis B vaccine, malaria rapid diagnostic
tests, vaccine vial monitors for temperature exposure, the Norplant
implant contraceptive, and female condoms. Based on research
studies commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to
better understand the development, adoption, and uptake of health
technologies in poor countries, the book concludes with specific
lessons on strategies to improve access. These lessons will be of
keen interest to students of health and development, public health
professionals, and health technology developers all who seek to
improve access to health technologies in poor countries.
