A $3 Drug Is Saving Millions in Africa. Why Can't We Get It Here? || Shawon2.0
There is a pill that costs three dollars.

It reduces mortality from one of the world's deadliest diseases by up
to 90%. In communities where it's been deployed, children who would
have died are growing up. Families who would have been destroyed
are intact.

And millions of people who need it cannot get it.

Not because it doesn't exist. Not because it's too complicated. But
because of a global system — built around profit, patents, and
politics — that quietly decides who gets medicine and who doesn't.

In this documentary, we investigate the gap between the drugs that
exist and the people who need them. From malaria in sub-Saharan
Africa to the HIV crisis of the early 2000s to COVID vaccine
inequality — this is the story of global health's most important
and least discussed problem.
