Spain's government and Farmaindustria renew pact

Farmaindustria, the Spanish pharma trade group, and the Ministries of Finance and Public Administration, and Health, Social Services and Equality, have signed the renewal of the Collaboration Agreement for 2018.

This accord was first agreed upon in December 2016 and continued from the Protocol signed back in November of 2015, the main objective of guaranteeing the public access to therapeutic innovations under equitable conditions and guaranteeing the sustainability of the National Health System.

The Agreement reconciles the rationalization of public expenditure from an efficiency and compliance point of view, with the commitments of the pharmaceutical industry providing the System with the best and most advanced resources available. In this sense, the renovation of the Agreement responds to the fulfillment of these objectives and to the climate of dialogue and collaboration that the Government and Farmaindustria have been maintaining throughout the last couple of years.
