Why do you want to participate in the Finance Perspectives Program at Roche?
How would you contribute to the Finance community at Roche?
Business Case
Your country’s healthcare system is under pressure. With an ageing population, a shortage of qualified staff and the resulting financial pressures that follow, the market landscape in the pharmaceutical industry is becoming more and more complex. To respond to this pressure, the government have highlighted multiple strategic initiatives that they hope will relieve some of the pressure: public-private partnership, hospital at home, equal access and system efficiencies are all mentioned but limited change has been realized to date. In addition, a dialogue around “value-based procurement” and how investment in innovation may support or accelerate the impact on patients and relieve pressure in the system, is being discussed in concept only. While this is a dialogue occurring in the market, the reality is that the current procurement practices continue to primarily focus on cost-based metrics and not value.
Based on the trends highlighted above and your understanding of the market,
What do you see as the biggest Financial risks and opportunities to the Pharma business based on the trends and market dynamics mentioned above?
Present one concrete proposal on how Roche Pharma can minimize the impact of these risks.
