EFPIA Day 2023: A discussion on sustainable ways to reward pharmaceutical innovation Virtual event

Join us online for a multi-dimensional discussion on drug pricing and cost-effectiveness evaluation on Thursday 5th October!

In anticipation of the upcoming drug pricing and HTA systems revisions planned later this year, EFPIA Japan invites you to take part in thinking about Japan’s role and expectations within the pharmaceutical innovation ecosystem.

In this webinar, you will hear about the visions and challenges of assessing the value of pharmaceuticals to propel them to the next stage of innovation, and more specifically the role of drug pricing and cost-effectiveness evaluation systems in the pharmaceutical innovation ecosystem.

The panel includes industry representatives, health economists, patient organisations, parliamentarians, and local and global experts, and their insights and discussions will help inform cost-effectiveness assessment changes.
