Buy essential cancer drugs for many countries at once and license newer ones to generic makers, as was done for HIV, so prices fall to what those health systems can pay.
HIV treatment reached tens of millions because the Medicines Patent Pool, pooled procurement and tiered pricing lowered costs by over 90%. Cancer has partial efforts (the ATOM Coalition, pooled tenders for childhood cancer drugs) but no comprehensive mechanism. The proposal is a cancer medicines pool: voluntary licences from originators for defined territories on a core list (trastuzumab, imatinib, pembrolizumab or biosimilar checkpoint inhibitors, and generics with supply problems), pooled multi-country tenders, quality assurance and supply security, financed with development bank guarantees.
