Policy

1

Since resources are limited, there should be a limit and only cost effective drugs that benefit the greater number of patients should be reimbursed. If a drug purchaser has to choose between treating 10 patients with drug A or 1 with drug B for a rare disease, then the choice should always be to treat 10 with drug A.

2

Only cost effective drugs should be reimbursed, but the approach for orphan drugs should be different than for common diseases. If there is any doubt about the cost effectiveness of an orphan drug, it should be exceptionally reimbursed in certain cases.

3

Like position 2, but if there is any doubt about the cost effectiveness of an orphan drug, the benefit of doubt should be given to the patient and the drug should be reimbursed systematically.

4

Health is a priority for European citizens. Just as efforts to rescue people after an accident are not restricted, efforts to rescue a patient with a rare disease should not be limited. Cost effectiveness should not be the parameter on which to base reimbursement decisions.

Overview of the new policies developed by players in this event.

Sundhed har altid høj prioritet for europæiske borgere. Ligeså vel som alt skal gøres for at redde mennesker efter en ulykke, skal alt også gøres for at behandle en patient. Konceptet med økonomisk effektivitet virker ikke når det gælder OD og skal ikke have betydning for hvorvidt der gives tilskud eller ej.
