项目摘要

Economic development that is inclusive of all its citizens requires appropriate and sustainable links between industrial and social policies. An inclusive health sector can produce a healthy and educated working population; industrial innovation and investment can generate the low cost commodities and services essential for universally accessible health care. However such beneficial interactions, linking social inclusion to industrialisation, have to be actively built at local level: a demanding process of centring decisions within the different domains of industrial, trade and social policies on identifying routes to equitable growth via universal access to care with industrial viability. This research aims to demonstrate "how to do it" in practical terms in low and middle income East Africa by tackling a "hard case" where current trends may actively generate inequality unless countered: access to cancer care. Cancer is an emerging health crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa: a sharply rising disease burden, very poorly diagnosed, that requires currently expensive medication and equipment not widely available, so that many go without treatment because of inability to pay. However, innovative technologies, and off-patent medicines offer potential for lower cost care: many of these are being developed in India, a country with a strong pharmaceutical industry and a track record of low cost production of health sector inputs. Furthermore, a number of African countries have a pharmaceutical industry that is actively upgrading to more complex technologies. In East Africa, much industrial production and innovation is strongly networked with Indian industrial partners and suppliers, including India-Africa joint ventures. This research brings together an expert cross-disciplinary team from East Africa, India and the UK to research the scope for linking innovation in industrial production and in health care to increase the accessibility of low cost cancer care, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of disease, in Kenya and Tanzania. The research team aim to work across the public/private, industry/health, and India/Africa boundaries to generate and evaluate a number of scenarios for lower cost prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of a range of cancers; and the scope for further innovation and for Africa-based industrial production of relevant technologies. These scenarios will bring together specific innovations in industry and health care, and will be developed, evaluated and debated interactively with key stakeholders in order to maximise the scope for impact on improving access to cancer care, and industrial development opportunities, in the East African context. We also expect India to benefit from new ideas for linking industrial innovation to health care need and access.Researchers will work actively from the start with health and industrial policy makers, manufacturers and regulators in India, East Africa. The East African team includes clinical expertise and expertise in health economics, epidemiology, health systems, industrial development and innovation; the Indian team is led by an expert in industrial-health linkages in the Indian context and includes health and industrial expertise; the UK team has strong expertise in innovation and technology management and scenario building and evaluation, as well as health-industrial linkages in African contexts. The team is built on substantial past research collaborations among team members and has long standing networks and competence in accessing collaboration from manufacturers; we have recruited an eminent international advisory panel to guide the research and dissemination.

包容所有公民的经济发展要求工业政策和社会政策之间有适当和可持续的联系。包容性的卫生部门可以产生健康和受过教育的劳动人口；工业创新和投资可以产生普遍获得保健所必需的低成本商品和服务。然而，这种将社会包容与工业化联系起来的有益互动必须在地方一级积极建立：这是一个艰巨的过程，需要在工业、贸易和社会政策的不同领域集中决策，以确定通过普遍获得具有工业生存能力的护理来实现公平增长的途径。这项研究旨在通过解决当前趋势可能积极造成不平等的“难题”--获得癌症护理--在中低收入的东非以实际方式展示“如何做到这一点”。在撒哈拉以南非洲，癌症是一种新出现的健康危机：疾病负担急剧上升，诊断非常糟糕，目前需要昂贵的药物和设备，但这些设备并不普遍，因此许多人因为无力支付费用而得不到治疗。然而，创新技术和非专利药品为降低医疗成本提供了潜力：其中许多是在印度开发的，印度拥有强大的制药业和低成本生产卫生部门投入的记录。此外，一些非洲国家的制药业正在积极升级到更复杂的技术。在东非，许多工业生产和创新与印度工业伙伴和供应商紧密相连，包括印度和非洲的合资企业。这项研究汇集了来自东非、印度和英国的跨学科专家团队，研究肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚将工业生产和医疗保健领域的创新联系起来，以增加低成本癌症护理的可及性的范围，包括疾病的预防、诊断、治疗和管理。研究小组的目标是跨越公共/私营、行业/卫生和印度/非洲的边界，为一系列癌症的低成本预防、诊断、治疗和管理产生和评估一些情景；以及进一步创新和相关技术在非洲的工业化生产的范围。这些方案将汇集工业和卫生保健领域的具体创新，并将与主要利益攸关方进行互动开发、评估和辩论，以便最大限度地扩大东非地区改善获得癌症护理的机会和工业发展机会的影响范围。我们还预计印度将受益于将工业创新与医疗保健需求和准入联系起来的新想法。研究人员将从一开始就与印度和东非的卫生和工业政策制定者、制造商和监管机构积极合作。东非团队包括临床专业知识和在卫生经济学、流行病学、卫生系统、工业发展和创新方面的专业知识；印度团队由一名印度背景下的工业-健康联系专家领导，并包括卫生和工业专业知识；英国团队在创新和技术管理、情景构建和评估以及非洲背景下的健康-工业联系方面拥有丰富的专业知识。该团队建立在团队成员之间过去大量的研究合作基础上，拥有长期的网络和获得制造商合作的能力；我们聘请了一个著名的国际顾问小组来指导研究和传播。
