‘Untangling the web of price reductions’ – MSF guide

Latest edition of this quarterly pricing guide to the purchase of ARVs for developing countries, produced and updated by Médecins Sans Frontières. Although the published date is April 24th, the document includes the new GlaxoSmithKline prices, announced last week.

French and Spanish versions are currently in progress and should be ready by the time HTB is printed. The document will be included as an annex to the WHO-MSF-UNICEF-UNAIDS document “Sources and prices of selected medicines and diagnostics for people living with HIV/AIDS, May 2003” which will be released shortly.
