AbbVie overcharged the Dutch health care system as much as €1.2 billion for Humira. Now we are taking them to court.

Farma ter Verantwoording feliciteert Bas Stunnenberg met zijn proefschrift over N=1 trials. Belangrijk dat patienten met zeldzame ziekten ook een betaalbaar geneesmiddel krijgen. Bij mexiletine tegen NDM is dat gelukt door magistrale bereiding, en weigering medicijnkaping Lupin

Around 1.3 million people have died *unnecessarily* as a result, one every 24 seconds in 2021.
