International drugprices The cooperation between industry & government in Switzerland
What is a fair price for a drug? „ I see more creative pricing models as we go forward, and these pricing models will always be specific to the individual countries because the needs, resources and healthcare delivery systems are very specific to those countries. We are prepared to go for not only differentiated pricing across countries, but also within countries. ..But for this kind of system to work, solidarity between rich and poor countries is needed..“ Severin Schwan, CEO Roche

Changes in healthcare systems Aging world population demand for medical care is growing, which is forcing the funding organizations to take aggressive cost-containment measures. Unhealthy lifestyles increasein chronic diseases. Emerging markets allowingthe populations of these countries greater access to healthcare services. Advances in science and technology innovative medicines, but also increase in innovationcosts.

What drives innovation? • Medical need • Scientific advances • Market incentives • Innovation-friendly regulatory, economic and IPR framework • Stable and predictable environment Scientific Advances Medical Need
Other challenges for the industry • Policy makers becoming increasingly concerned about health expenditure and cost of innovation • Debate too much focused on cost and not on efficiency • Growing concern over possible ineffective (or harmful) use of untested technology • Need for enlightened tools for assessing value of health care services
