Five pharmaceutical companies, including Roche, are changing their plans for European drug launches. The companies are responding to the MFN policy, which sets a minimum price for medicines in the European Union. According to Endpoints News, Roche's changing plans show how the MFN policy is complicating European drug launches.
The policy, which was implemented to reduce healthcare costs, is now affecting the pricing and availability of medicines in Europe. The policy is also affecting the pricing of other medicines, including those for rare diseases. The pharma industry is pushing for higher European drug prices, with EU ministers and pharma lobbies meeting in Dublin to counter the policy.
The outcome of these negotiations is unclear.
