| 英文摘要 |
The author reports the last few days of his mother's life who was battling with non-small cell lung cancer and lost her life to the disease. The healthcare crisis in Bangladesh, the author experienced in the cancer treatment of his mother Azibun Nessa, motivated him to look for the answer of a fundamental question: ''how access to healthcare can be increased in low and mid income countries''. The article argued that ''human rights based approach'' in IPR (Intellectual Property Right) protection of medicine can contribute to increase the level of access to the healthcare. Indian legal responses to ''intellectual property protection in medicine'' and their arguments on ''right to healthcare'' can be useful for other countries in similar social-economic conditions to increase access to the healthcare by their patient population. The article explores the possible costs of a medicine and makes recommendation on ''how access to healthcare can be increased in low and mid income countries''. Furthermore, the role of IPR in medicine and IPR's direct connection with the accessibility of healthcare, were at the core of discussion. |
