A new report released today shows Australians are missing out on too many new medicines,with Australia ranked 18th out of 20 comparable OECD countries.

The COMPARE report – Comparison of Access and Reimbursement Environments –benchmarks Australia’s access to new medicines and will be launched at the National Press Club today by Medicines Australia Chairman, Dr Martin Cross.

“It’s disappointing to see that Australia, which is known for a universal health care system, has fallen behind most comparable OECD countries when it comes to access to new medicines,” Dr Cross said.
