We are working in the public interest to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable. Your endorsement can make a difference.
Show your support for the Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation
The Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation acts in the public interest and strives to make overpriced drugs more affordable through legal actions that hold pharmaceutical companies accountable.
Complaint against Leadiant
For example, in 2018, Farma ter Verantwoording filed a complaint with the ACM about the excessive prices that pharmaceutical company Leadiant was charging for a pre-existing orphan drug. The ACM fined Leadiant €19.5 million for this in 2021.
Proceedings against AbbVie
In December 2021, the Pharmaceutical Accountability Foundation held one of the world’s largest biopharma companies, AbbVie, liable for the excessive (unfair) prices it charged for the drug Humira during the period it enjoyed patent protection.
