Abstract:
Drug company marketing scandals have often made headlines. However, in recent years, a raft of new pharmaceutical industry transgressions has created crises for health care systems of high-income countries as well as poorer nations. Prices of life-saving drugs are soaring; supply shortfalls of essential medications have become common; development of new antibiotics against resistant organisms is lagging; and inequalities in access to medicines are widening. Policymakers must find new solutions to protect health systems and health.
