    Where does South Korea stand with this topic?

    1. Fundamental Human Right: South Korea views access to essential medicines as


    a fundamental human right, essential for universal healthcare coverage.
    2. Equitable Distribution: South Korea advocates for equitable distribution of
    essential medicines, aiming to address disparities in access both nationally and
    globally.
    3. Minimization of Barriers: South Korea emphasizes the need to minimize barriers
    to access, including intellectual property rights, regulatory hurdles, and supply
    chain challenges.

    How can South Korea Advocate to equal distribution?

    As South Korea, we can help make sure everyone gets the medicines they need, no
    matter where they live or how much money they have. We can do this by supporting fair
    rules that share medicines based on who needs them most, not just who can pay the
    most. We can also help improve healthcare in areas that don't have enough resources,
    like training doctors and building clinics. Plus, we can work with drug companies and
    other countries to make sure medicines are priced fairly, so everyone can afford them.
    By working together, we can make sure everyone gets the medicine they need to stay
    healthy.

    How can we minimize barriers?

    As South Korea, we want to make it easier for everyone to get the medicines they need.
    We can do this by reducing the things that make it hard to access medicines. For
    example, we can work to simplify the rules and regulations that make it difficult for
    medicines to reach people who need them. We can also find ways to make sure that
    medicines are available in all communities, even in remote areas. By getting rid of these
    barriers, we can make it simpler for everyone to stay healthy.

    How can we make it easier to reach?


    To make it easier for people to reach essential medicines, we can focus on improving
    access in several ways. One way is by increasing the number of healthcare facilities
    where people can get medicines, especially in remote or underserved areas. This might
    involve building new clinics or pharmacies or providing mobile healthcare services to
    reach people in rural communities. Additionally, we can invest in telemedicine and
    digital health platforms, allowing people to consult healthcare professionals and order
    medications online, especially in areas with limited access to traditional healthcare
    services. By expanding access points and leveraging technology, we can make it more
    convenient for people to get the medicines they need, no matter where they live.

    Strategies to promote access to life-saving medication can include:

    1. Affordable Pricing: Implementing pricing mechanisms that ensure medicines are


    affordable for all income levels, including subsidies or price controls for essential
    medications.
    2. Generic Substitution: Encouraging the use of generic versions of medications,
    which are often more affordable than brand-name drugs, through education and
    regulatory incentives.
    3. Public Health Programs: Implementing public health programs that provide free
    or heavily subsidized essential medications to vulnerable populations, such as
    children, elderly, or low-income individuals.
    4. Health Insurance Coverage: Expanding health insurance coverage to include
    essential medications, reducing out-of-pocket costs for individuals and families.
    5. Supply Chain Optimization: Improving supply chain management to ensure
    consistent availability of medications, including reducing stockouts and
    minimizing distribution delays.
    6. Community Health Workers: Training and deploying community health workers to
    provide education, counseling, and medication delivery services, particularly in
    remote or underserved areas.
    7. International Collaboration: Collaborating with other countries, international
    organizations, and non-governmental organizations to share best practices, pool
    resources, and negotiate favorable pricing agreements with pharmaceutical
    companies.
