”Because at the heart of the apparent conflict between public health concerns and capitalistic interests, market access for pharmaceuticals is largely driven by political considerations, the difference with usual consumer goods being that pharmaceuticals are saving lives or years of life in good health”.

The key group behind this book is Interasma, a society of asthma specialists which has been functioning as a worldwide association for over 40 years, and which is directly focussed on the prevention and treatment of asthma.
