Description
Book SynopsisThe Price of Global Health is a unique book that describes the pharmaceutical pricing process and its business, economic and social challenges. Global drug pricing is one of the most hotly debated yet least understood aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. How should drug prices be set and what does it mean for patients? Why do governments increasingly get involved, and what is its impact on the global competitive environment? How can a life-saving industry have a poorer image than gun and tobacco industries, whose products are associated with death?
The pharmaceutical industry is under unprecedented pressure due to a combination of declining R&D productivity, payer/provider demands for better value and public pressures to show pricing restraint. Rapidly increasing cost of healthcare, shifts from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement, public pressure on drug pricing and an increasingly vocal medical community have empowered public and private payers worldwide to

"This book gives a great overview and offers several perspectives on drug pricing issues. It provides comprehensive new insights such as the need to take benefits assessments of pharmaceuticals into consideration during all steps of drug development and market access. The mix of theory, in the form of underlying arguments and analytical frameworks, along with practical and up-to-date real-world solutions, makes this book an outstanding reference." - Thomas Mueller, Head of Directorate General 1 "Drugs, Medical Devices, Biotechnology" Ministry of Health, Germany

"The Price of Global Health is the most informative and comprehensive book I have read on the topic of global pharmaceutical pricing and market access. Ed is able to distill complex topics into simplified and pragmatic frameworks, including insightful perspectives on market segmentation, communicating value, and pricing. The final section provides a useful reference, describing how key global healthcare systems are structured and their approach for assessing value. I have recommended this book for members of my team as part of their initial training." - David Kaplan, former Senior Advisor, Global Payer Market Research, Eli Lilly
"Ed Schoonveld explains how pharmaceutical prices are determined in a complex global payer environment and what factors influence the process. I have used the book to teach pharmaceutical pricing since the book first arrived on the market. It fills a huge unmet need. The students find that Ed’s book transforms the complex global pricing environment and the factors that influence the pricing process into an understandable and manageable entity. The book takes a lot of data and transforms the information into key concepts. I can’t imagine teaching global pharmaceutical pricing without Ed’s book." - Richard Truex PhD, Adjunct Professor St. Joseph’s University, Philadelphia

Highly recommended." - Keith Hendricks, former Vice President, Decision Support Group, Corporate Strategic Planning, AbbVie
