Government medicine provision is just one part of the equation, but because it is crucial for the poor, it needs to be more reliable 3. Private sector medicine provision is more reliable but needs to be made more physically accessible and financially affordable 4. Access needs to be assessed regularly to determine whether interventions are 24
