This Advanced Introduction provides a succinct overview of the vital role of pharmaceuticals in protecting and enhancing life and health. Frederick Abbott examines the global network of researchers and industrial companies involved in the developmental process, from fundamental research to testing, manufacturing and distribution. He evaluates the legal frameworks intended to promote the research and development of these essential medicines, including the use of patents, subsidies and other incentives.
