Abstract
Health interventions developed for wealthy nations are difficult to introduce in developing countries due to a lack of sufficient technological, financial, political, or infrastructural resources. Increasingly, however, product developers are creating new technologies that meet the needs of lowâresource settings. Experience has shown that many activities must be undertaken to prepare health systems to accept and embrace new, improved, or underâutilized health technologies. This article describes three health technologies-a diagnostic test for vitamin A deficiency, new cervical cancer vaccines, and the vaccine vial monitor-that PATH, a global health organization, has helped advance for developingâcountry markets. © 2008 WileyâLiss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 97:5080-5083, 2008
