How to Price and to Reimburse Publicly Funded Medicines in Latin America? Lessons Learned from Europe

Abstract

AbstractThis paper reviews the main pricing policies in Latin American countries, discussing their shortcomings. It also gives an overview of the most common pricing and reimbursement policies in Europe and describes in detail three well-established approaches — international price referencing, value-based pricing, including setting up of health technology assessment, and generic and biosimilar policies — building on country examples.
