In addition to discussing evolving international human rights standards, it addresses domestic implementation and litigation related to incentivizing research into and development of means through which to treat and prevent diseases that have a disproportionate burden in developing countries, as well as strategies aimed at improving universal access to medical products, vaccines, and medical technologies.en-USright to healthhuman hitsscientific processdisease preventionMonograph or Book2015-06-05Stephen P.
