Description

Birol Tibet wrote a 2025 study on how poor and middle-income countries set prices for generic drugs. Generic drugs are the base of low-cost care in these countries, making up a large share of all drugs used. Yet split rules and weak price systems keep prices uneven and access unfair.

The study compares price systems in 20 countries with varied health systems. It looks at tiered pricing, pricing based on prices abroad, and pricing based on local rivals. It also weighs rules and perks for local drug making. Data came from state reports, health staff, and industry sources. The aim is to guide policy makers toward price rules that are fair, keep supply steady, and hold up over time.
