Abstract
The "10/90 Gap" is the idea that only 10% of global health research is devoted to conditions accounting for 90% of the global disease burden. This report dispels the myth of the 10/90 Gap in health research including research regarding tuberculosis. It calls for a more constructive approach to improving access to medicines for the poor.Publisher:
