Innovation and the pricing of drugs in the U.S. by the pharmaceutical companies.
06/09/2007
Will drug innovation be affected adversely by price reductions in the USA? No say experts as it is a globalized industry and innovation takes place in labs around the world. And the pricing reforms, as in Britian and Germany, can actually encourage R&D for effective drugs with good cost relationships; when comparitive effectiveness of drugs and cost benefit analyses is used in pricing reforms. Pricing of pharmaceutical products and healthcare services is the major unsolved problem in the U.S.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
