Resum
Pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to invest in research and development (R&D) of products for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) mainly due to the low ability-to-pay of health insurance systems and of potential consumers. The available
preventive and curative interventions for NTDs mostly rely on
old technologies and products that are often not adequate.
Moreover, NTDs mostly affect populations living in remote rural
areas and conflict zones, thereby hampering access to
healthcare. The challenges posed by NTDs have led to the
proliferation of a variety of public-private partnerships (PPPs)
in the last decades. We conducted a systematic review to assess
the functioning and impact of these partnerships on the
development of and access to better technologies for NTDs. Our
systematic review revealed a clear lack of empirical assessment
of PPPs: we could not find any impact evaluation analyses, while
these are crucial to realize the full potential of PPPs and to
progress further towards NTDs elimination.
