Investigación médica: Houston, tenemos un problema (Medical research: Houston, we have a problem)

Synopsis: The world faces a severe health problem. To this day, the lack of access to essential drugs is not just a problem for developing countries, although for them the problem is even bigger. The hepatitis C cases or the most
innovative cancer drugs show us how the system of innovation and development of drugs is globally broken.
The challenge is to build a efficient  and sustainable system of R&D  and commercialisation of drugs. So that it could warrantee drugs to people who need it at an affordable price.  The documentary analyses this challenge and it
also offers options and solutions.
