Description

Germ drugs are hard to sell, so states now pay pull prizes that make new drugs worth the build. Michael Anderson and co-authors ask in a 2026 review which drugs and firms may claim such prizes in each land. They sift past reviews, grey files, and a global hub list to map the rules.

Twenty eight prizes turned up, most live and some in draft. All the live sets aimed at high need germs. Rules on firm duties, such as fair access and green care, ran patchy. The UK and Swedish sets were the most broad, with the UK set in use across all grades. The team urges a shared core of rules with room for each land's needs.
