About the Johns Hopkins Drug Access and Affordability Initiative

JHDAAI develops bipartisan policy recommendations to increase the affordability of pharmaceuticals in the U.S.

The challenge is balancing the need for innovation, the need to improve patients’ access to medications, and the need to reduce overall medical costs in our health care system.

We invite policymakers, researchers, and the public to explore our work and take advantage of our resources to improve pharmaceutical access.
