This week it announced that it has ordered price cuts on 350 medicines from 1 December 2023, reported RTS. This comes out at around CHF 14 per resident, not a particularly significant sum when set against an average annual health insurance bill of around CHF 4,300. The medicines on this year’s list are for treatments in the areas of gastroenterology, hormone therapy and oncology, among others. The price cuts are likely to lead to savings of an estimated 120 million francs, wrote the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH). FOPH initiated a similar round of price cuts in 2022, which led to savings of CHF 80 million.
