Abstract

The field of access to medicines is becoming a complex governance system. Along with formal international organizations, non-state actors have created various new institutional arrangements, such as funds, initiatives, programs, and partnerships. This study focuses on the role and power of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who have introduced a new dynamism regarding the problem of access to medicines, by analyzing the “Access to Medicine Index” (hereinafter, AtM Index) case.
