Bibliographical note
Acknowledgements:The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have been
collaborating since 2014 to study pricing policies. The research
was guided by Sarah L. Barber from WHO and Luca Lorenzoni
from OECD, who established the scope and framework for the
analysis in consultation with global and regional experts.
Recognizing that no single model is applicable to all settings,
the study aimed to generate best practices and identify areas
for future research, particularly in low- and middle-income
settings.
