There are multiple places where access delays occur, all deserving attention... and yet, per the actual report, the single longest delay, which is entirely within the control of pharma companies wanting to sell drugs faster, is in... those companies themselves filing new drugs w/ Health Canada.🤔

🎮 Time for Europe to Level Up Every year, European taxpayers help fund the research behind medicines, vaccines and diagnostics. Yet when these technologies reach the market, affordability and availability are often left to chance. Public investment does not always translate into public benefit.

Raworth combinó el techo ecológico con el suelo social y lo cerró circularmente y amasó una rosquilla que define en su interior un espacio justo y seguro para la humanidad. Si superamos los límites ecológicos hay sobrecarga, si no alcanzamos las bases sociales hay escasez.

No es mi camino. Mi lectura es frentepopulista: para mi la prioridad pasa por salvar el clima y la democracia intentando que eso tenga la mayor declinación ecosocialista posible, pero sin que el horizonte de un ideal ecosocialista frene los compromisos que piden las urgencias de nuestro tiempo.

Ay, nuestro viejo amigo el sistema de propiedad intelectual. Vaya mito lo de que los derechos de patente son necesarios para la transición energética.

Y desde un punto de vista de equidad en salud, mientras que las renovables y la electrificación, bien planificadas, tendrán efectos ademas en la reducción de impacto en salud (co-benefits), con la nuclear conseguimos menos efecto, y nos llevamos unos riesgos añadidos de exposición nada desdeñables

Mas allá de las mejoras del acceso en la práctica, este RD intenta -dentro las limitaciones que le marca el RDL7/2018-establecer que el modelo por defecto se base en la autonomía del paciente/usuario, lo cual no solo avanza en el derecho a la salud, sino en la agenda antirracista.
