ROUBAIX STRATEGIES INC. Roubaix [ru-bae]: The Paris-Roubaix is one of the most difficult single-day professional cycling races in the world.

Just like market access in Canada, negotiating these challenging conditions requires strategic planning, careful preparation, superior teamwork, and a bit of courage.

PRICING WHEN DOES IT BEGIN? AND WHAT IS CONSIDERED?
Pharmaceutical Pricing Occurs in a Global Market Which Affects Decisions Made Here Canada represents ~2% of global pharmaceutical market1 Source: PMPRB 2015 Annual Report (published 2016)

Canadian Patented Medicines Drug Prices are at Par or Lower Than Three Comparator Countries Source: PMPRB 2015 Annual Report (published 2016)
There is Growing Attention on Canadian (and Global) Drug Pricing PMPRB is considering unprecedented changes to its scope and mandate, asking: Is PMPRB relevant in today s market? Is their mandate appropriate for ensuring non-excessive pricing? Does it need to change to address questions of affordability?
