Why License to Heal?


Healthcare costs have been rising significantly over the past years, so action is needed to ensure that healthcare products remain accessible to and affordable for everyone
The development of a drug implies a social responsibility to guarantuee accessibility of this drug
Drug prices are disproportionate to the costs of research & development
A third of the global population does not have access to essential medication

Who are we?

The cooperating Political Youth Organisations are convinced that drugs and other medical products should be accessible to everyone. We feel supported in this matter by several international treaties, in which the universal right to health has been recorded. To realise general accessibility, all stakeholders in the development of medicine need to take their social responsibility. Since stakeholders cannot or will not take this responsibility in the current system, the government needs to set a framework.
