T he pharmaceutical industry in South Africa suffers from poor image which
is making it difficult to readily enter into fruitful cooperation with the government
In South Africa pharma is an easy target for criticism Shying away from telling its own story directly to the public the industry has failed to establish itself as a trusted partner in healthcare Seen as profit-driven pharma doesnrsquot inspire the confidence necessary to build a sustainable relationship with the government or patients But that assessment isnrsquot fair ldquoWe do a lot to improve healthcare Thatrsquos why we exist We live to find new medicines we are driven by the passion of people who wake up in the morning to deliver new molecules that address a myriad of diseases including cancer HIVAIDS or other devastating communicable and non-communicable illnesses Making money is a by-productrdquo said Konji Sebati CEO The Innovative Pharmaceutical Association South Africa (IPASA) Changing this perception is high on Dr Sebatirsquos agenda ldquoWe havenrsquot told our story because wersquove always had our backs against the wall In that situation it is natural to throw your hands in the air and do nothingrdquo
Keeping patents is part of the problem
The industry has received particularly strong disapproval over their insistence on maintaining patents In South Africa there is a 20-year period of product protection during which generic companies cannot produce a given molecule After the patent lapses itrsquos everybodyrsquos game Many activists oppose this piece of legislation Some argue against patents altogether others say the period
of protection should be shortened yet others fight to make it impossible to extend intellectual property rights to products described asldquoincremental innovationrdquo
While itrsquos easy to oppose patents those arguing against them need to realize two things For example the clock starts ticking at the moment of discovery which happens before clinical trials can begin and with registration delays it is easily ten years before a drug reaches patients ldquoBy then you are usually left with 10-12 years of protectionrdquo Dr Sebati said
Another far more important realization is that incremental innovation needs to be protected because without it there is no chance for real breakthroughs The development of insulin is a good example Dr Sebati described ldquoIt started with large needles frequent injections constant blood sugar measurements etc Now you have once-daily administration jet injectors insulin pumps patches ndash none of that would be available without incremental innovationrdquo
Too much regulation doesnrsquot leave room to maneuver
But image problems arenrsquot the only issues keeping up pharma execs late at night ldquo[Pharma] in South Africa is highly regulated to a point where the amount of legislation you have to abide by makes it very challenging to innovate Regulation is good but it should be balanced in a way that leaves room for growth technology knowledge transfer and cooperationrdquo Dr Sebati explained
For example Dr Sebati proposed there should be an opportunity to introduce different pricing policies for the public and private sectors With 84 of South African population covered by the public insurance it should be made possible to introduce tiered pricing for the public sector ldquoWe could charge market prices for the private sector and lower the prices for the public sector with the government guarantee of volume purchasedrdquo Dr Sebati pointed out ldquoIdeally we would be able to negotiate with the government so that cutting-edge medicines

reach publicly-funded patients too This way we could support government on access to all medicines irrespective of it being a generic or an originator medicine to the public sector as well but currently the law doesnrsquot allow thatrdquo
As a resolve to the status quo Dr Sebati suggests that there should be an open line of communication between pharma and the government which could include regular meetings of the partners to discuss issues and to strategize together on the best ways to deliver healthcare to all ldquoWe should have a forum where we meet every three months or so to discuss healthcare issuesrdquo Dr Sebati offered This way would enable the government and pharma to deal with each other in an open and evidence-based manner In addition it would facilitate problem solving as issues arise ldquoWe have recently been inundated with questions about stock-outs at healthcare facilities when members know that their medicines have definitely left the warehouses a clear indication of lacking inventory control skills efficient logistics and distribution plans Pharma is well-positioned to help We have the expertise We know logistics We can partner with the government and train people I would very much wish to see that cooperation with time I donrsquot want us to only talk to each other when there is a crisisrdquo
Nevertheless the government is not the only stakeholder that needs to be brought on board Conscious of that Dr Sebati is now looking for the best way to cooperate with eg patient groups Although still unclear about the best manner in which to proceed shersquos looking at ways that can lead to a sustainable model of cooperation ldquoThatrsquos one of the things we can do to build bridges with our most important stakeholder the patientrdquo Dr Sebati stated
Accusations over medicine costs
Pharma also have to face accusations from some funders asserting that the biggest cost drivers in healthcare are medicines Such attitude ignores the many factors around the discovery and the positive wave of new life-saving life-prolonging personalized medicines that will be approved in the coming years As a result of those approvals those drugs will shorten the disease suffering get patients well and back to work earlier with less side effects and a huge economic benefit to the government in the end ldquoWhat we should all
be doing as health partners and in this health value chain is spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicines Pricing is already regulated This debate should no longer be happeningrdquo
In spite of all these problems incremental steps toward improving the situation are being made and with some good will from all participating stakeholders interests can be aligned and South Africarsquos healthcare system can go a long way
from previous
ldquo Spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicinesrdquo

T he pharmaceutical industry in South Africa suffers from poor image which
is making it difficult to readily enter into fruitful cooperation with the government
In South Africa pharma is an easy target for criticism Shying away from telling its own story directly to the public the industry has failed to establish itself as a trusted partner in healthcare Seen as profit-driven pharma doesnrsquot inspire the confidence necessary to build a sustainable relationship with the government or patients But that assessment isnrsquot fair ldquoWe do a lot to improve healthcare Thatrsquos why we exist We live to find new medicines we are driven by the passion of people who wake up in the morning to deliver new molecules that address a myriad of diseases including cancer HIVAIDS or other devastating communicable and non-communicable illnesses Making money is a by-productrdquo said Konji Sebati CEO The Innovative Pharmaceutical Association South Africa (IPASA) Changing this perception is high on Dr Sebatirsquos agenda ldquoWe havenrsquot told our story because wersquove always had our backs against the wall In that situation it is natural to throw your hands in the air and do nothingrdquo
Keeping patents is part of the problem
The industry has received particularly strong disapproval over their insistence on maintaining patents In South Africa there is a 20-year period of product protection during which generic companies cannot produce a given molecule After the patent lapses itrsquos everybodyrsquos game Many activists oppose this piece of legislation Some argue against patents altogether others say the period
of protection should be shortened yet others fight to make it impossible to extend intellectual property rights to products described asldquoincremental innovationrdquo
While itrsquos easy to oppose patents those arguing against them need to realize two things For example the clock starts ticking at the moment of discovery which happens before clinical trials can begin and with registration delays it is easily ten years before a drug reaches patients ldquoBy then you are usually left with 10-12 years of protectionrdquo Dr Sebati said
Another far more important realization is that incremental innovation needs to be protected because without it there is no chance for real breakthroughs The development of insulin is a good example Dr Sebati described ldquoIt started with large needles frequent injections constant blood sugar measurements etc Now you have once-daily administration jet injectors insulin pumps patches ndash none of that would be available without incremental innovationrdquo
Too much regulation doesnrsquot leave room to maneuver
But image problems arenrsquot the only issues keeping up pharma execs late at night ldquo[Pharma] in South Africa is highly regulated to a point where the amount of legislation you have to abide by makes it very challenging to innovate Regulation is good but it should be balanced in a way that leaves room for growth technology knowledge transfer and cooperationrdquo Dr Sebati explained
For example Dr Sebati proposed there should be an opportunity to introduce different pricing policies for the public and private sectors With 84 of South African population covered by the public insurance it should be made possible to introduce tiered pricing for the public sector ldquoWe could charge market prices for the private sector and lower the prices for the public sector with the government guarantee of volume purchasedrdquo Dr Sebati pointed out ldquoIdeally we would be able to negotiate with the government so that cutting-edge medicines

reach publicly-funded patients too This way we could support government on access to all medicines irrespective of it being a generic or an originator medicine to the public sector as well but currently the law doesnrsquot allow thatrdquo
As a resolve to the status quo Dr Sebati suggests that there should be an open line of communication between pharma and the government which could include regular meetings of the partners to discuss issues and to strategize together on the best ways to deliver healthcare to all ldquoWe should have a forum where we meet every three months or so to discuss healthcare issuesrdquo Dr Sebati offered This way would enable the government and pharma to deal with each other in an open and evidence-based manner In addition it would facilitate problem solving as issues arise ldquoWe have recently been inundated with questions about stock-outs at healthcare facilities when members know that their medicines have definitely left the warehouses a clear indication of lacking inventory control skills efficient logistics and distribution plans Pharma is well-positioned to help We have the expertise We know logistics We can partner with the government and train people I would very much wish to see that cooperation with time I donrsquot want us to only talk to each other when there is a crisisrdquo
Nevertheless the government is not the only stakeholder that needs to be brought on board Conscious of that Dr Sebati is now looking for the best way to cooperate with eg patient groups Although still unclear about the best manner in which to proceed shersquos looking at ways that can lead to a sustainable model of cooperation ldquoThatrsquos one of the things we can do to build bridges with our most important stakeholder the patientrdquo Dr Sebati stated
Accusations over medicine costs
Pharma also have to face accusations from some funders asserting that the biggest cost drivers in healthcare are medicines Such attitude ignores the many factors around the discovery and the positive wave of new life-saving life-prolonging personalized medicines that will be approved in the coming years As a result of those approvals those drugs will shorten the disease suffering get patients well and back to work earlier with less side effects and a huge economic benefit to the government in the end ldquoWhat we should all
be doing as health partners and in this health value chain is spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicines Pricing is already regulated This debate should no longer be happeningrdquo
In spite of all these problems incremental steps toward improving the situation are being made and with some good will from all participating stakeholders interests can be aligned and South Africarsquos healthcare system can go a long way
from previous
ldquo Spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicinesrdquo

Pharma also have to face accusations from some funders asserting that the biggest cost drivers in healthcare are medicines Such attitude ignores the many factors around the discovery and the positive wave of new life-saving life-prolonging personalized medicines that will be approved in the coming years As a result of those approvals those drugs will shorten the disease suffering get patients well and back to work earlier with less side effects and a huge economic benefit to the government in the end ldquoWhat we should all
be doing as health partners and in this health value chain is spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicines Pricing is already regulated This debate should no longer be happeningrdquo
In spite of all these problems incremental steps toward improving the situation are being made and with some good will from all participating stakeholders interests can be aligned and South Africarsquos healthcare system can go a long way

T he pharmaceutical industry in South Africa suffers from poor image which
is making it difficult to readily enter into fruitful cooperation with the government
In South Africa pharma is an easy target for criticism Shying away from telling its own story directly to the public the industry has failed to establish itself as a trusted partner in healthcare Seen as profit-driven pharma doesnrsquot inspire the confidence necessary to build a sustainable relationship with the government or patients But that assessment isnrsquot fair ldquoWe do a lot to improve healthcare Thatrsquos why we exist We live to find new medicines we are driven by the passion of people who wake up in the morning to deliver new molecules that address a myriad of diseases including cancer HIVAIDS or other devastating communicable and non-communicable illnesses Making money is a by-productrdquo said Konji Sebati CEO The Innovative Pharmaceutical Association South Africa (IPASA) Changing this perception is high on Dr Sebatirsquos agenda ldquoWe havenrsquot told our story because wersquove always had our backs against the wall In that situation it is natural to throw your hands in the air and do nothingrdquo
Keeping patents is part of the problem
The industry has received particularly strong disapproval over their insistence on maintaining patents In South Africa there is a 20-year period of product protection during which generic companies cannot produce a given molecule After the patent lapses itrsquos everybodyrsquos game Many activists oppose this piece of legislation Some argue against patents altogether others say the period
of protection should be shortened yet others fight to make it impossible to extend intellectual property rights to products described asldquoincremental innovationrdquo
While itrsquos easy to oppose patents those arguing against them need to realize two things For example the clock starts ticking at the moment of discovery which happens before clinical trials can begin and with registration delays it is easily ten years before a drug reaches patients ldquoBy then you are usually left with 10-12 years of protectionrdquo Dr Sebati said
Another far more important realization is that incremental innovation needs to be protected because without it there is no chance for real breakthroughs The development of insulin is a good example Dr Sebati described ldquoIt started with large needles frequent injections constant blood sugar measurements etc Now you have once-daily administration jet injectors insulin pumps patches ndash none of that would be available without incremental innovationrdquo
Too much regulation doesnrsquot leave room to maneuver
But image problems arenrsquot the only issues keeping up pharma execs late at night ldquo[Pharma] in South Africa is highly regulated to a point where the amount of legislation you have to abide by makes it very challenging to innovate Regulation is good but it should be balanced in a way that leaves room for growth technology knowledge transfer and cooperationrdquo Dr Sebati explained
For example Dr Sebati proposed there should be an opportunity to introduce different pricing policies for the public and private sectors With 84 of South African population covered by the public insurance it should be made possible to introduce tiered pricing for the public sector ldquoWe could charge market prices for the private sector and lower the prices for the public sector with the government guarantee of volume purchasedrdquo Dr Sebati pointed out ldquoIdeally we would be able to negotiate with the government so that cutting-edge medicines

reach publicly-funded patients too This way we could support government on access to all medicines irrespective of it being a generic or an originator medicine to the public sector as well but currently the law doesnrsquot allow thatrdquo
As a resolve to the status quo Dr Sebati suggests that there should be an open line of communication between pharma and the government which could include regular meetings of the partners to discuss issues and to strategize together on the best ways to deliver healthcare to all ldquoWe should have a forum where we meet every three months or so to discuss healthcare issuesrdquo Dr Sebati offered This way would enable the government and pharma to deal with each other in an open and evidence-based manner In addition it would facilitate problem solving as issues arise ldquoWe have recently been inundated with questions about stock-outs at healthcare facilities when members know that their medicines have definitely left the warehouses a clear indication of lacking inventory control skills efficient logistics and distribution plans Pharma is well-positioned to help We have the expertise We know logistics We can partner with the government and train people I would very much wish to see that cooperation with time I donrsquot want us to only talk to each other when there is a crisisrdquo
Nevertheless the government is not the only stakeholder that needs to be brought on board Conscious of that Dr Sebati is now looking for the best way to cooperate with eg patient groups Although still unclear about the best manner in which to proceed shersquos looking at ways that can lead to a sustainable model of cooperation ldquoThatrsquos one of the things we can do to build bridges with our most important stakeholder the patientrdquo Dr Sebati stated

Another far more important realization is that incremental innovation needs to be protected because without it there is no chance for real breakthroughs The development of insulin is a good example Dr Sebati described ldquoIt started with large needles frequent injections constant blood sugar measurements etc Now you have once-daily administration jet injectors insulin pumps patches ndash none of that would be available without incremental innovationrdquo
Too much regulation doesnrsquot leave room to maneuver
But image problems arenrsquot the only issues keeping up pharma execs late at night ldquo[Pharma] in South Africa is highly regulated to a point where the amount of legislation you have to abide by makes it very challenging to innovate Regulation is good but it should be balanced in a way that leaves room for growth technology knowledge transfer and cooperationrdquo Dr Sebati explained
For example Dr Sebati proposed there should be an opportunity to introduce different pricing policies for the public and private sectors With 84 of South African population covered by the public insurance it should be made possible to introduce tiered pricing for the public sector ldquoWe could charge market prices for the private sector and lower the prices for the public sector with the government guarantee of volume purchasedrdquo Dr Sebati pointed out ldquoIdeally we would be able to negotiate with the government so that cutting-edge medicines

As a resolve to the status quo Dr Sebati suggests that there should be an open line of communication between pharma and the government which could include regular meetings of the partners to discuss issues and to strategize together on the best ways to deliver healthcare to all ldquoWe should have a forum where we meet every three months or so to discuss healthcare issuesrdquo Dr Sebati offered This way would enable the government and pharma to deal with each other in an open and evidence-based manner In addition it would facilitate problem solving as issues arise ldquoWe have recently been inundated with questions about stock-outs at healthcare facilities when members know that their medicines have definitely left the warehouses a clear indication of lacking inventory control skills efficient logistics and distribution plans Pharma is well-positioned to help We have the expertise We know logistics We can partner with the government and train people I would very much wish to see that cooperation with time I donrsquot want us to only talk to each other when there is a crisisrdquo
Nevertheless the government is not the only stakeholder that needs to be brought on board Conscious of that Dr Sebati is now looking for the best way to cooperate with eg patient groups Although still unclear about the best manner in which to proceed shersquos looking at ways that can lead to a sustainable model of cooperation ldquoThatrsquos one of the things we can do to build bridges with our most important stakeholder the patientrdquo Dr Sebati stated
Accusations over medicine costs
Pharma also have to face accusations from some funders asserting that the biggest cost drivers in healthcare are medicines Such attitude ignores the many factors around the discovery and the positive wave of new life-saving life-prolonging personalized medicines that will be approved in the coming years As a result of those approvals those drugs will shorten the disease suffering get patients well and back to work earlier with less side effects and a huge economic benefit to the government in the end ldquoWhat we should all
be doing as health partners and in this health value chain is spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicines Pricing is already regulated This debate should no longer be happeningrdquo
In spite of all these problems incremental steps toward improving the situation are being made and with some good will from all participating stakeholders interests can be aligned and South Africarsquos healthcare system can go a long way

T he pharmaceutical industry in South Africa suffers from poor image which
is making it difficult to readily enter into fruitful cooperation with the government
In South Africa pharma is an easy target for criticism Shying away from telling its own story directly to the public the industry has failed to establish itself as a trusted partner in healthcare Seen as profit-driven pharma doesnrsquot inspire the confidence necessary to build a sustainable relationship with the government or patients But that assessment isnrsquot fair ldquoWe do a lot to improve healthcare Thatrsquos why we exist We live to find new medicines we are driven by the passion of people who wake up in the morning to deliver new molecules that address a myriad of diseases including cancer HIVAIDS or other devastating communicable and non-communicable illnesses Making money is a by-productrdquo said Konji Sebati CEO The Innovative Pharmaceutical Association South Africa (IPASA) Changing this perception is high on Dr Sebatirsquos agenda ldquoWe havenrsquot told our story because wersquove always had our backs against the wall In that situation it is natural to throw your hands in the air and do nothingrdquo
Keeping patents is part of the problem
The industry has received particularly strong disapproval over their insistence on maintaining patents In South Africa there is a 20-year period of product protection during which generic companies cannot produce a given molecule After the patent lapses itrsquos everybodyrsquos game Many activists oppose this piece of legislation Some argue against patents altogether others say the period
of protection should be shortened yet others fight to make it impossible to extend intellectual property rights to products described asldquoincremental innovationrdquo
While itrsquos easy to oppose patents those arguing against them need to realize two things For example the clock starts ticking at the moment of discovery which happens before clinical trials can begin and with registration delays it is easily ten years before a drug reaches patients ldquoBy then you are usually left with 10-12 years of protectionrdquo Dr Sebati said

reach publicly-funded patients too This way we could support government on access to all medicines irrespective of it being a generic or an originator medicine to the public sector as well but currently the law doesnrsquot allow thatrdquo
As a resolve to the status quo Dr Sebati suggests that there should be an open line of communication between pharma and the government which could include regular meetings of the partners to discuss issues and to strategize together on the best ways to deliver healthcare to all ldquoWe should have a forum where we meet every three months or so to discuss healthcare issuesrdquo Dr Sebati offered This way would enable the government and pharma to deal with each other in an open and evidence-based manner In addition it would facilitate problem solving as issues arise ldquoWe have recently been inundated with questions about stock-outs at healthcare facilities when members know that their medicines have definitely left the warehouses a clear indication of lacking inventory control skills efficient logistics and distribution plans Pharma is well-positioned to help We have the expertise We know logistics We can partner with the government and train people I would very much wish to see that cooperation with time I donrsquot want us to only talk to each other when there is a crisisrdquo
Nevertheless the government is not the only stakeholder that needs to be brought on board Conscious of that Dr Sebati is now looking for the best way to cooperate with eg patient groups Although still unclear about the best manner in which to proceed shersquos looking at ways that can lead to a sustainable model of cooperation ldquoThatrsquos one of the things we can do to build bridges with our most important stakeholder the patientrdquo Dr Sebati stated
Accusations over medicine costs
Pharma also have to face accusations from some funders asserting that the biggest cost drivers in healthcare are medicines Such attitude ignores the many factors around the discovery and the positive wave of new life-saving life-prolonging personalized medicines that will be approved in the coming years As a result of those approvals those drugs will shorten the disease suffering get patients well and back to work earlier with less side effects and a huge economic benefit to the government in the end ldquoWhat we should all
be doing as health partners and in this health value chain is spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicines Pricing is already regulated This debate should no longer be happeningrdquo
In spite of all these problems incremental steps toward improving the situation are being made and with some good will from all participating stakeholders interests can be aligned and South Africarsquos healthcare system can go a long way
from previous
ldquo Spend less time pointing fingers and fighting battles through the media and more time sitting together and with government addressing the funding requirement for these medicinesrdquo
