I am glad that you covered this important area at this timing. I wonder why not mentioning the C-TAP as the current established tool by WHO that works similarly like Medicine patents pool just especially made for COVID-19?

Really very interesting and educative 🤍

Great stuff, Greg. Is this the way forward in making medicines more accessible and addressing the inequity of medicines or can this be paired with other initiatives such as the health impact fund?

[keithroberts]

Good overview Greg. Does increased competition between manufacturers tend to lead to lower costs for consumers, or higher royalties for the patent holders?

Sounds fantastic, too bad it's all voluntary and up until now no mRNA vaccine company has joined the patent pool.
