I once presented to the monthly board meeting of one of the biggest global pharma companies. The audience was the top execs plus the top-10 country heads.
All they talked about during the dinner was price fixing, tricky deals to block generics, and schemes to maximise the amount they could get each country to pay. Nothing about the science, medicine behind the drugs, or benefits to patients.
That's the reality of pharma today.
