What's at stake
A smoothly functioning healthcare system is a fundamental building block for a sustainable society. Through the world, healthcare schemes are under pressure, either because they can’t assure proper medical care or because the related costs are exploding. The «access to medicine» debate focuses on broadening the range of treatments even for rare diseases. For its part, the food industry is being called upon to provide healthy nourishment and promote wellbeing.

Relevance for Investors
Access to medicine in the developing world is improving, which results in higher life expectancy. Pharmaceutical companies have a direct influence on the speed of this development through pricing and patent policy. Pharmaceutical companies follow an economic agenda along with ethical considerations, when making medicine available to poor population segments. There is a trade-off between making a product available at low cost (and thus low profit) and purely commercial considerations. Growing demand for pharmaceuticals in many countries (led by Brazil, Russia, India and China) is recognized as a major driver for the industry today. Healthier populations are more productive and contribute to economic growth. Companies which make their products available to low-income population segments will profit from brand recognition and trust as developing economies start to grow and can increasingly afford to pay higher prices.
