Mapping buyer’s clubs; what role do they play in achieving equitable access to medicines?

One of the most important questions regarding buyer’s clubs which this paper aimed to stimulate initial discussion on, is how successful they can be at achieving increased access to medicines. It appears that equity and sustainability are key challenges of buyer’s clubs and need to be reflected upon carefully. Yet, whilst they may or may not have the capability to increase access in an equitable manner, this paper does highlight the lived experience of an individual and the lengths they will go to when they are denied access to medicines.
