Increasing access to medicines 177 the market is constrained by the weakness of distribution mechanisms, leading to a concomitant decrease in supply. If a medicine stands little chance of actually reaching its intended consumer, there is little point in risking large amounts of capital in developing a drug specifically designed for a poorer market. As a result, certain diseases endemic to these regions, such as the cluster of so-called ‘neglected diseases,’ 38 have failed to attract sufficient research from commercial drugs companies. More problematic is the fact that these same constraints also limit the distribution of all kinds of preexisting medicines. Access to these medicines would improve if the many barriers to access identified in this chapter were addressed as a matter of priority.

The intersection of these two curves shows the total quantity that will be supplied, Q 0 and the minimum price charged, P 0 .
