CEPI represents the first step towards Joseph Stiglitz\'s vision, cited by Gubby, of a fund which provides large rewards for cures to common diseases such as malaria, and smaller rewards for rarer diseases or less innovative \'me-too\' drugs (Stiglitz, BMJ, 333, 2006, pp. 1279-1280). As a fledgling organization facing a Goliath, it deserves international support in its dual goals of incentivizing innovation and ensuring equitable access to biomedical advances.
