The innovation development and access pathway: A holistic approach to accelerating access to innovative medicines and vaccines

IFPMA introduces the “Innovation Development and Access Pathway” (IDAP), a framework designed to build a shared understanding of the end-to-end pathway of how medicines and vaccines move from discovery to delivery at the point of care. The paper maps the four critical pillars of this journey: R&D and the innovation ecosystem; regulatory processes and life cycle management; listing, procurement and reimbursement; and health service delivery. It identifies systemic challenges, and proposes collaborative solutions to overcome them, and shows that improving access requires coordinated action across stakeholders, with governments playing a central role in enabling timely and equitable access to innovation.
