I-MAK (Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge) is a nonprofit organization focused on reforming the medicines system to promote health equity in drug development and access. Founded in 2006 and based in New York City, the group combines analytical research, stakeholder collaboration, and media engagement to expose structural inequities and market failures that affect patient outcomes. Its work centers on creating inclusive dialogues and partnerships with a broad range of stakeholders to reimagine the power dynamics that influence medicine access, with the aim of making pharmaceutical development and pricing more responsive to public health needs. Acknowledging the global impact of the medicines system, I-MAK outlines where the current structure undermines public good and seeks solutions that empower those most affected to drive change. Recent activities include collaborations with another advocacy organization to explore the costs associated with pharmaceutical practices and the broader implications of patent strategies on drug availability.
