Video & Podcast: Assessing the global pricing of vaccines and treatments

As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) sweeps the world in devastating fashion, scientists are scrambling to develop effective vaccines and treatments. But how should those medicines be priced globally?

This discussion was moderated by Ashveena Gajeelee.
