1. PARIOFORMA
 An international pharmaceutical company commissioned Parioforma to design and
implement a primary research programme to “unravel” healthcare policy making,
decision making and market access issues related to innovative oncology products in
Russia. The project sponsor was keen to better understand how to interact with the
Russian Ministry of Health (MoH) with regard to the various policy changes that have
impacted on foreign pharmaceutical companies and inclusion of their products on
reimbursement lists at federal and regional levels.
 Client objectives
◦ Understand how the Russian Ministries responsible for healthcare policy making are configured
and how they work in relation to reimbursement of innovative products:
 Interaction between MoH and Roszdravnadozor relevant to market access issues
 Creation and management of Essential Drugs List
 Therapeutic committees and sub-committees
 External influences – e.g. State Duma Health Committee, cancer institutes, patient advocate groups, etc
 Regional and municipal reimbursement influences and budget setting
◦ Map out the decision making process, key influencers and decision makers at the various levels
◦ Understand the impact of future Russian healthcare provision reforms on market access
requirements for oncology products:
 Federal reimbursement program (DLO)
 National Healthcare Project
 Pharma 2020
 Programme of work
◦ Interviews with key healthcare influencers, committee members (clinicians) and MoH officials at
both federal and regional levels were conducted to confirm and validate specific roles and
responsibilities as well as to identify access challenges and opportunities affecting oncology
products in Russia.
 Value
◦ The results of the project allowed the client to gain strategic insight into the current healthcare
policy environment as well as to understand the impact of future reforms for international
companies wishing to gain market access and reimbursement on the Russian market for
innovative oncology products.
