There is significant disparity between "richer" and "poorer" countries in terms of access to biological treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to results from a multinational study across four continents. Furthermore, findings from a separate study show that RA patients report the severity of their disease in the same way, irrespective of the country where they live.
