Two times in a row, #methylphenidate was rejected to be included in the WHO essential medicines list. That lead to barrier in treating people with ADHD in middle- and lower-income countries. Clearly this inequality should not exist but we can do something to minimise it.
Great to have this study recognised. @UniMelbMDHS @Ian_HKU @KennethKCMan now we need @WHO to recognise why #methylphenidate should be on essential medicines list
