Abstract

We fully support the views expressed in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology's Editorial about ensuring affordable access to insulin and the proposal to add analogue insulin to the WHO Essential Medicines list. The International Insulin Foundation in its 2011 position statement called for “the universal access for persons with type 1 diabetes to life-saving and life-preserving insulin”. In 2012, we launched the 100 Campaign, which sets the target of 100% affordability and 100% availability of insulin worldwide by the year 2022 (100 years after the introduction of insulin for people with diabetes).
