摘要
Biologic drugs are reshaping clinical practice in various disciplines, even while access to them is imbalanced across global settings. In sub-Saharan Africa, biotherapeutics have potential roles to play in the treatment of a range of conditions that include infectious and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). However, the literature is scarce on guidance for addressing local access challenges, including technical, regulatory, affordability, and other healthcare delivery aspects. This article aims to assess fundamental determinants of use of biologic medicines in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose is to inform strategic actions of scientists, physicians, policymakers, and other stakeholders that are working to improve access to innovative therapies in low resource parts of the world.
