"Payment for pharmaceutical products has long been identified as one of the potential causes of poverty in developing countries. Moreover, there is a cyclical relationship between poverty and poor health. In relation to developing countries, the health challenges confronting them is exacerbated by the high incidence of both communicable and non-communicable diseases in these countries ... These figures indicate that in the years to come, poor patients in these and other developing countries will continue to require access to medicines at affordable prices in order to sustain a healthy and productive life-style."--
