Southern Medical Review, a journal with a development focus, is calling for contributions across the following areas: access to medicines and the role of different stakeholders, access to medicines models in the developed world and their relevance (if any) to developing countries, research papers and commentaries based on WHO/HAI medicine pricing surveys and Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and Access to Medicines, the promotion of generic drugs, the political economy of the pharmaceutical industry and access to medicines.
