E-DRUG: The cost of the new hepatitis C drug across Europe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a group of medical students and young professionals researching the cost of the new hepatitis C drug across Europe.
We are trying to collect data on the price European governments have negotiated for Hepatitis C treatment Sofosbuvir (Sovaldi). Ideally we’d like to have a source on a government website (if not readily available other sources would be helpful too) however it can be quite challenging to find this without knowing how different government agencies and websites are set up.
We'd really appreciate any help with collecting these from your country if you know where this information can be found. The data we are hoping is simply the price of a 28 tablet pack of Sofosbuvir and/or the price of 12 weeks treatment of just Sofosbuvir.
If you can help we have a short google form, including either piece of data and any references, preferably online.
We would appreciate if you could fill out this form: (please use link below)
