cost of patented drugs

What can governments do to control costs?

Governments can implement policies to regulate drug prices, encourage the use of generics and biosimilars, and support R&D for new treatments. Importing cheaper drugs from other countries, negotiating prices directly with pharmaceutical companies, and providing subsidies or financial assistance programs are also potential strategies. Some countries have successfully reduced costs through national health systems that centralize drug procurement and price negotiation.
