3. (Report) Urgent Forum on Drug Pricing Reform “Main Points of Discussion / Issues to Consider in the Future”

In response to this forthcoming drug pricing reform, HGPI convened the Urgent Session on Drug Pricing Reform on December 9, 2016. This urgent forum provided an opportunity for fair and global multi-stakeholder discussion related to issues of not only on drug pricing, but also initiatives to streamline medical care through technological innovation and the design of systems to ensure the sustainability of social security. 
HGPI has compiled many recommendations and comments from the forum into the report “Main Points of Discussion / Issues to Consider in the Future”.
