Sick Money

內容簡介

內容簡介 時代雜誌記者揭露全球醫藥產業鏈的嚴重問題與黑幕，當治療愛滋病藥物的價格被隨意拉高、對抗孩童癌症的藥物被刻意在西班牙倉庫放到過期，Billy Kenber認為醫療產業鏈已逐漸將重點從醫治病人轉維經營營利導向的工業體，未來藥物的價格更是有可能被惡意哄抬，面對疫情後的世界，醫藥產業的平衡與正向發展將更加重要。 THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IS BROKEN From the American hedge fund manager who drastically hiked the price of an AIDS pill to the children’s cancer drugs left intentionally to expire in a Spanish warehouse, the signs of this dysfunction are all around. A system built to drive innovation and improve patient care has been distorted to maximise profits. In Sick Money, the investigative journalist who exposed a billion-pound British price-hiking scandal goes inside the global battle over high drug prices. From secret deals to patients forced to turn to the black market, Billy Kenber reveals how medicines have become nothing more than financial assets. He offers a diagnosis of an industry in crisis - and a preion for how it could be fixed.
