Pharmaceutical pricing webinar January – EURIPID – The European Integrated Price Information Database

The first basic webinar in the new series on pharmaceutical pricing organised by the Euripid collaboration took place on 28 January 2022 and was, with more than 150 registered participants, a huge success.

After an introduction by the Chair of the Board of Participants, Francis Aricks (RIZIV/INAMI, Belgium), the project coordinator Gergely Németh (NEAK, Hungary) explained Euripid in a nutshell.

Then keynote speaker Peter Schneider (GÖG, Austria) gave a comprehensive, yet thorough, overview about different pharmaceutical pricing policies, and how they are applied in European countries. The focus was on the description of archetypical policy interventions and a discussion of their benefits and limitations.

All questions that were sent in by 26 January were covered in a structured format and nicely surrounded by a discussion on potential long-term sustainability measures for the pharmaceutical financing system.
