Abstract

The first version of the World Health Organization Model list of essential medicines contained 186 medicines in 1977 and has evolved to include 502 medicines in 2023. Over time, different articles criticized the methods and process for decisions; however, the list holds global relevance as a model list to over 150 national lists. Given the global use of the model list, reflecting on its future role is imperative to understand how the list should evolve and respond to the needs of Member States. In 2023, the model list Expert Committee recommended the World Health Organization (WHO) to initiate a process to revise the procedures for updating the model list and the criteria guiding decisions. Here, we offer an agenda outlining priority areas and a vision for an authoritative model list. The main areas include improving transparency and trustworthiness of the recommendations; strengthening connection to national lists; and continuing the debate on the principles that should guide the model list, in particular the role of cost and price of essential medicines. These reflections are intended to support efforts ensuring the continued impact of this policy tool.

世卫组织基本药物示范清单:未来愿景。
世界卫生组织基本药物示范清单的第一版于 1977 年包含 186 种药物,到 2023 年已发展到包含 502 种药物。随着时间的推移,不同的文章对决定的方法和过程提出了批评;然而,作为 150 多个国家清单的示范清单,该清单仍具有全球意义。鉴于示范清单在全球范围内的使用情况,对其未来作用进行反思是了解清单应如何发展并满足会员国需求的当务之急。2023 年,示范清单专家委员会建议世界卫生组织(WHO)启动一项进程,修订示范清单的更新程序和指导决策的标准。在此,我们提出了一个议程,概述了优先领域和权威性示范清单的愿景。主要领域包括:提高建议的透明度和可信度;加强与国家清单的联系;继续讨论指导示范清单的原则,特别是基本药物成本和价格的作用。这些思考旨在支持确保这一政策工具持续发挥影响的努力。
