The German pharma industry organization (VfA) critizised in a recent press release (8th of November) in relation to the 3rd anniversary of the IQWIG institute the confusion around methods that are not coherent with international standards for pharmacoeconomics.
As we know the institute apparently has hired a group of experts to shape is methodological direction. For sure developments in Germany remain interesting to say the least... Ulla Schmid, the German health minister however was quated to not having any intention to regulate pharmaceutical prices before launch..
