Everyone should have access to effective cancer treatments, regardless of where they live. Last week @who.int updated its Essential Medicines List, adding treatments that can help address global health challenges like cancer.

CSO's Dr Gyawali was on the expert committee that updated the list! 👏

The WHO Model Lists help countries improve access to the most needed medicines for their populations at affordable prices.

These lists are updated every 2 years with new medicines.

See the latest updates here bit.ly/484pfeb
What are the Model Lists of Essential Medicines (EML) & Essential Medicines for Children (EMLc)? The WHO EML & EMLc contain safe and effective medicines for the most important health needs of populations. These lists now include a total of 523 essential medicines for adults and 374 for children. Over 150 countries have adopted national lists of essential medicines informed by the WHO Model Lists.
