New work out from CGHSS:
We examined domestic policies on Access and Benefits Sharing and Digital Sequence Information exchange!

🧪New!
Access & Benefits Sharing (ABS) has implications for international scientific collaboration, medical countermeasure development, and the equitable exchange of samples & sequence data. We examined domestic policies relevant to ABS in all UN Member States: bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/3/1/...
Heat map figure demonstrating the percentage of countries with applicable domestic policy in each of the 8 policy categories. Lighter colors indicate a lower percentage of countries in the corresponding region have policies applicable to the category, while darker indicates a larger percentage of countries with policy. Exact percentages are listed in the center of each box. 3 stacked bar graphs and corresponding maps to the right of each bar graph. The top graph/map represents the global and regional heterogeneity of policy pertaining to genetic resource access, the middle graph/map shows the categories of sanctions used to enforce ABS policies by country and WHO region, while the bottom graph/map combination demonstrates countries and regions with policy relevant to digital sequence information. The corresponding legend is located immediately below each portion of the figure.
