Make medicines affordable — without going to court

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:26:12 GMT

Tom Buis is a medicines policy expert for the NGO Wemos. Wilbert Bannenberg is chairman of the Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation.Earlier this year, the Dutch Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation filed a lawsuit against big pharma company AbbVie. According to the foundation, AbbVie made excessive profits on a medicine, and by doing so put a strain on the health care system by generating unnecessary costs.Now, AbbVie is being held to account — but this case is also a clear message to governments around the world that, ultimately, it’s their responsibility to ensure access to affordable health care and medicines.Governments can and must take control to prevent extreme drug prices.The lawsuit against AbbVie focuses on the sale of the drug Humira, which is approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. From 2004 to 2018, the Dutch public health care system spent approximately €2.3 billion on this drug. This means that after subtracting rese...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:26:12 GMT

VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — NATO’s summit will begin Tuesday with fresh momentum after Turkey withdrew its objections to Sweden joining the alliance, a step toward the unity that Western leaders have been eager to demonstrate in the face of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The decision by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a significant move toward Sweden’s membership and it will alleviate tension in Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital.“This is a historic day,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said late Monday as he announced the agreement following days of intensive meetings. As part of the deal, Erdogan said he would ask Turkey’s parliament to approve Sweden joining NATO. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is expected to take a similar step.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:26:12 GMT

EVANSTON, Ill. — Following Northwestern University head football coach Pat Fitzgerald's ouster, a former Northwestern player spoke out Monday on the toxic culture he experienced while in the program. "I had Cinco de Mayo shaved into my head," said Ramon Diaz Jr, a former offensive lineman at Northwestern from 2005-08. "Specific statements were said to me like, 'I know you grew up on dirt floors but here we try to keep things clean.'"Diaz Jr. first spoke Monday to The Daily Northwestern — the university's student-run newspaper — in which, an article published by the paper described different examples of racism experienced by three former football players at the university.
