Reforming the innovation system to deliver affordable medicines: a conceptual framework of pharmaceutical innovation as a complex adaptive system (forest) and theory of change
Parts of the vast pharmaceutical innovation system have changed to deliver more affordable medicines by design. Such change has occurred largely within specialised niches, responding to evolving societal norms about the purpose of pharmaceutical innovation. Actors can achieve larger-scale change by further expanding and/or solidifying these niches through changes to resources, actor roles, norms and rules.
