Abstract
Cryptococcal meningitis accounts for one in five AIDS-related deaths globally. WHO guidelines strongly recommend a single high-dose of liposomal amphotericin B as part of preferred treatment, but this drug remains unaffordable in most low- and middle-income countries. A proactive approach is needed from manufacturers and other stakeholders to improve access.
