Policy-makers have to ensure that an appropriate mix of pharmaceutical policy options is implemented to meet equitable, affordable, and sustainable access to medicines as well as medical care. The World Health Organization has projected various strategies to support policy-makers in developing suitable policies, including the concept of the vital medicine list and the universal health coverage (UHC) approach. Moreover, European countries with advanced UHC and social protection systems have developed pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement systems that intend to offer various crucial medicines to their citizens at no or reduced cost. For instance, Armenia ensures 100% reimbursement for medicines for specific diseases such as TB, mental health diseases, diabetes, and chronic kidney failure.
In May 2019, VELTASSA, a prescription medication used to treat high potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia), has secured reimbursement in Germany, after the completion of AMNOG process (price negotiation and arbitration process). Moreover, reimbursement for the drug was secured in Finland, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, and a favorable recommendation was received from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the UK. Furthermore, at the end of 2019, VELTASSA was launched in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, and Austria. Besides, in 2018, Vifor Pharma announced a licensing agreement with Zeria Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to catalyze the process of VELTASSA’s regulatory and reimbursement approval in Japan. Further, in December 2019, China’s National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) included Roxadustat in the updated National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL). The drug Roxadustat is included in the NRDL for the treatment of anemia in CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). Such lucrative reimbursement policies are likely to accelerate the growth of the market during the forecast period.
