Event description:
The Solomon Center for Health Law and Policy presents
“Government Purchasing of Medicines for the Public Health: The Cases of HCV and PrEP”.
To promote patient access to expensive essential medicines, there has been growing interest in government purchasing of drugs that could then be made widely available. We will examine two case studies of this approach—direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C virus and pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention—to understand how these programs work and how they navigate patents, drug regulations, and public health law.
