Improving medicines access in Brazil through collaboration in the PPRI network

Abstract

In 2020, Brazil joined Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement Information (PPRI). PPRI is a network of public authorities responsible for pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement policies from 50, mainly European, countries. It offers a platform to its members to share information and experiences regarding pricing and reimbursement policies for medicines, and this helps improve access to affordable medicines. Information-sharing is done, among others, through network queries, country reports, meetings and webinars. Contributing to the PPRI network activities, Brazil can benefit from the policy experience of the other countries.
