Sure. We have all talked about a few things here. We've talked about the need to identify and set priorities. I think we can all agree that we need a process for identifying them. What are the tools that we are missing? What are the medicines, the diagnostics, the medical devices and so on that we need? Priority-setting is certainly one thing we need to do.
We've also heard, and we heard this on Tuesday as well, that we need a model that allows us to create this framework for collaboration among all of the different actors that are involved: universities, health charities, NGOs, patient groups, industry, and so on. That is really the missing piece that we just don't quite seem to have in Canada, this ability to set priorities, discover new things, and then develop them in a way that's affordable and accessible.
Canada is not alone in asking these questions. Other countries are thinking about this. We're seeing these discussions at the European Union. As Rachel mentioned, there is a UN High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines. Everyone is asking these questions and looking at this in very similar ways, trying to address similar problems.
What we see, and what UAEM has done a very good job of identifying, is that we have small pilots. We have universities that are taking action. We have DNDi that's delivering products. We have others that are actually experimenting with this and producing drugs and devices at a lower cost. What we need is to mainstream this. We need to integrate it into more funding streams.
