Last month, the Danish drugmaker yanked a diabetes product from Greece after the government instituted substantial price cuts, which Novo Nordisk claimed would cause it to lose money. Since then, a resolution was found - Greece agreed to rollback some of its price cut - but not before Novo Nordisk was lambasted by a patient group for insensitivity (see here and here).

I read it on the plane to Boston on my birthday late last month. (Really, is this what I do for fun? Time to get a life?) I’ve long been an admirer [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2390241 Tue, 05 May 2009 13:00:59 +0100 2390241
