I think cooperation is critical. As I said, this is a global problem and it calls for global solutions. Discussion needs to happen at a global level.
And to answer your previous question, certainly health care practitioners don't have these solutions. As Dr. Haggie said, we're the front-line practitioners.
The discussion needs to happen between regulatory authorities around the world and the multinational drug manufacturing associations. They can discuss potential solutions and implement reasonable solutions to prevent drug shortages.
We can't do that. We can raise the issue. We can raise the flag. We can illustrate what challenges we face when we have drug shortages and not enough notice to deal with these shortages.
