Honestly, that's something I've wondered myself. If f, like GAP f, is working to fix medicine access for kids, why don't all governments just do the same? To me, it usually comes down to a mix of politics and money. Some countries just don't put kids' health as a top priority in their rules, and others are kinda slow at following what the WHO or similar groups recommend.
I once saw a news story showing how some governments spend a lot of time making laws about adult medicine, but they're not in a rush for kids, maybe cause it's not seen as a big voter issue. Plus, making new pediatric drugs costs extra, so unless someone makes it an official rule, drug companies and even governments might skip it. That's why GAP f is cool, cause it works on changing the rules, making governments care, and getting outside funding.
Basically, if more governments actually used ideas from f, like legal agreements making kids' meds a priority, it could make a huge difference. Until then, it's slow progress, but groups like GAP f are trying to push them every year.
