Vaccines are expensive
and the funding is complex. From Big Pharmaceuticals
to public sector, to universities, to NGOs, the UN,
non-profit, not-for-profits and huge donations from
private foundations, for the drug companies the
trail from discovery to delivery requires deep
pockets, a clear understanding of the market and
ruthless commercial instincts. This programme
unpicks the way we pay for vaccines and looks at who
benefits. Is this a business that just serves rich
shareholders - or does it deliver vaccines to the
poor who need them most? And what are the recipient
countries themselves doing to pay the costs? Indeed,
holding developing countries to account for where
the money goes is a key part of building a better
future between developed and developing countries.
Part of 4 x 25-minute
