L'importation interdite de médicament essentiel

Chers E-druggers,

Les pays en développement veulent parfois protéger leurs industries nationale et interdisent l'importation de certains médicaments essentiels. Au Ghana, l'importation de 14 médicaments est interdites. Vous trouverez ci-dessous l'exemple du Nigeria.

Questions :
Qu'en est-il des prix des médicaments essentiels dont l'importation n'est pas possible au Ghana et au Nigeria ?
Des restrictions à l'importations doivent-elles être appliquées afin de protéger les productions locales ?
Quel est le juste équilibre entre protection de la production locale et disponiblité/accessibilité des médicametns essentiels ?
Y-a-t-il d'autres méthodes que les interdictions d'importation pour protéger les productions locales ?

La discussion est ouverte !

Best regards,

E-DRUG: banned importation of essential drugs
---------------------------------------------

dear E-druggers,

Developing countries sometimes want to protect national manufacturers, and ban the importation of certain essential drugs. In Ghana the importation of 14 drugs is banned. Below an example of Nigeria.

Questions: 

What happened to prices of essential drugs whose importation was banned in Ghana and Nigeria?

Should the importation of drugs be banned to protect local production?

What is the right balance between protection of local manufacturing industry and the availability and affordability of essential drugs?

Are there other methods that could promote local manufacture without banning the importation?

The E-drug platform is open for discussion!

best regards,

Wilbert
