By Sara Mallatt, Director of Healthcare Research and Sean Carmichael

Pharmas are left to navigate a complex set of intertwined global policy and strategic shifts.

In this report, discover how experts see U.S. MFN policy playing out, including the expected impact on pharma firms and the broader healthcare system, and what firms are doing to mitigate MFN risks.
