TECHNICAL WORKING Group Work Stream 1: Market Shaping • Lead: Oliver Sabot, Executive Vice President for Global Programs at the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) • Key issue: One key challenge affecting many of the commodities is insufficient market dynamic; for example on the supply side, a lack of manufacturers producing commodities, or in regards to demand, the lack of knowledge around the availability of commodities. This group will therefore look into market shaping opportunities. This includes strategies and implementation plans to create an enabling environment that helps ensure an appropriate supply of quality and affordable products. This work stream will explore opportunities in creating such an enabling environment for the 13 identified commodities through changes and developments in health policy, innovative financing mechanisms, supply chain strengthening, and regulatory approaches. • Key next steps: • Develop an overall framework to diagnose and categorize market problems and propose specific interventions to address the market issues • Create a comprehensive tool-kit that can be used to address bottlenecks and market problems. • Test the toolkit on 2 or 3 sample products from the Commission list of 13 to determine validity of the framework and toolkit. • Provide the specific recommendations based on results of analysis.
Work Stream 2: Regulatory Environment • Lead: Hans Hogerzeil, Former Director for Essential Medicines and Pharmaceutical Policies, WHO and Professor of Global Health, Groningen University • Key issue: Critical bottlenecks affecting the commodities are also found in the regulatory environment, which is shaped by the requirements of National Medicine Regulatory Authorities (NMRA). These typically have oversight in three essential areas of making a quality medicine available in the marketplace: assuring the quality and efficacy of medicines; providing necessary authorizations for distribution of the medicine; and supporting eligibility for procurement with public funding. Each country has unique requirements that manufacturers must meet, including separate, detailed dossiers and possibly physical inspections of the manufacturing facility. Approval from the WHO prequalification system or another recognized stringent regulatory authority is also required for publicly funded procurement. Regulatory processes are a critical value-added function, but they represent significant investments, and sometime have the unintended effect of limiting the participation of smaller manufacturers. • Based on review of the case studies the following regulatory challenges were identified • Registration of new dosing/ formulas • Changing classifications to Over the Counter (OTC) • Changes related to WHO’s Essential Medicines List • Poor matching between disease burden and scalability of regulatory changes
Work Stream 2: Regulatory Environment • Key next steps: • Continue discussions and collaboration with WHO, Paediatric medicines Regulators' Network (PmRN) (includes members from 26 countries), national and regional regulatory authorities, as well as with Commissioner Ms Agnès Saint Raymond. • Identify short vs. long term interventions and recommendations that include • i) Simplification of regulatory procedures such as introduction of one, simple file for regulators that help them make a proper but more rapid risk assessment to ensure rapid uptake of low-risk commodities; and • ii) Identification and sharing of best practices with regards to OTC status.
Work Stream 3: Best Practices and Innovations • Leads: Patricia Mechael, Executive Director of the mHealth Alliance and Catharine H. Taylor, Catharine Taylor the Director of the Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition Program at PATH • Key issue: This stream of work will focus on the following areas that show potential for rapidly increasing access to and use of the commodities, building on findings and recommendations from the Innovations Working Group of the UN Commission on Information and Accountability: • Innovative Technologies that may facilitate access to a product, such as better medical devices, packaging, and formulations, as well as complementary technologies such as mobile phones or SMS. • Strategies to Create Demand amongst healthcare professionals and/or patients/caregivers, such as better communications, training, user fee waivers, cash transfers, or insurance schemes. • Innovations for Scaling Up access to a given commodity at a local level, based on a systematic analysis of existing interventions to overcome bottlenecks in public sector, private sector, and at community level. Key next steps • Enhance linkages to the Innovations Working Group of the Every Woman Every Child movement; • Synthesise existing innovative approaches to provide context including scope, and identification of gaps and opportunities and gaps.
