An Australian story about the need for accessible and affordable eye care
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-24/woman-chooses-to-go-blind-after-delays-at-adelaide-clinic/106602574Macular Disease Foundation Australia chief executive Kathy Chapman told 891 ABC Adelaide there was high demand for free and affordable treatment.
"It's a much more common condition than probably the health system has been ready for," she said.
Dr Chapman said about 1.9 million Australians had symptoms of macular disease but only about 40 public hospitals in the nation offered free eye injection treatments."In South Australia there's about six public hospitals out of 23 that we contacted that offer this. Compared to some other states, it can be even lower," she said.
"If we can stop people going blind it's a lot less for the health system to be paying than if you have people go blind and the extra supports that they need then."

Judge Wolson used a “Star Trek” metaphor, saying that even with the US Government’s “warp speed” at which the vaccine was developed, the core of patent law is upheld: “don’t copy other people’s inventions.”

Fair Doses: An Insider's Story of the Pandemic and the Global Fight for Vaccine Equity by Seth Berkley https://www.amazon.com.au/Fair-Doses-Insiders-Pandemic-Vaccine/dp/0520413164/

While this book does provide a helpful inside account of the foundation and operation of COVAX, and insights into the struggles for vaccine equity, the failure to properly address the civil society debate over intellectual property and access to essential medicines was perplexing.
