Access to medicines for treating people With cryptococcal meningitis

Abstract
Cryptococcal meningitis accounts for 1 in 5 AIDS-related deaths globally. World Health Organization guidelines strongly recommend a single high dose of liposomal amphotericin B as part of preferred treatment, but this drug remains unaffordable in most low- and middle-income countries. A proactive approach is needed from manufacturers and other stakeholders to improve access.
