A study on the accessibility and utilisation of targeted drugs for pulmonary arterial hypertension in China
The findings demonstrate significant improvements in the affordability and availability of PAH-targeted therapies over the study period; however, notable inequalities persist in accessibility improvements across urban and rural areas and income groups. Future policies should be tailored to address specific accessibility challenges for different drug categories and focus on overcoming medication access barriers for low-income rural populations to foster health equity.
