[Carlos Correa, South Centre]... More progress needs to be made to improve access to affordable, good-quality essential medicines and vaccines for all. In addition to increasing investment in access, governments should put in place supportive policies and effective regulation. In this context, it is significant that the Declaration reaffirms the right of countries to the full use of the flexibilities of the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), in line with the recommendations by the UN High Level Panel on Access to Medicines. The South Centre offers its technical support for the effective use of TRIPS flexibilities to promote access to medicines.
