How Much AIDS Vaccine Do Poor Countries Really Want?

January 08, 2007

CGD's Global Health Forecasting Working Group is cited in this Scientific American article about finding ways to better understand the "demand" for medicines in the Developing world.

From the article:

The global public health community has become increasingly sensitive to the problem of forecasting the developing world's actual demand for medicines, as opposed to the raw need. In one sign of the change, the Center for Global Development, an influential Washington, D.C.-based think tank, has convened a panel of economists, consultants and representatives from industry and public health to make recommendations for forecasting practices.
