E4: Netherlands - Hans Serverens
In this episode, I speak with Hans Severens, former Vice Chair of the Dutch Health Council and a key figure in health technology assessment at ZIN in the Netherlands.

E3: Italy - Fabrizio Gianfrate
In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Fabrizio Gianfrate, a voting member of AIFA—the Italian Medicines Agency—and a long-time figure in European health economics. We explore why Italy is viewed as a strong market for rare disease access, the growing friction between good patient access and lower pricing, and how delayed payment and instalment models are creating challenges for innovative contracting in Italy’s system. It’s a fascinating look at a market that often flies under the radar, w...

E2: Germany - Detlev Parow
In this episode, I speak with Detlev Parow, a former payer from one of Germany’s largest statutory health insurance funds.

Detlev shares why, in Germany, obesity drugs might not be the budgetary problem everyone assumes, why multiple indications don’t always mean lower prices, and how gene therapies are being handled through outcomes-based guarantees. Along the way, we hear what it’s like to negot...

E1: France - Jean-Claude Castanier

We talk about the ongoing challenge of preserving net price across multiple indications, the payer’s role as a public communicator, and what long-term sustainability really means for healthcare systems under pressure. From confidential discounts to transparency, and the tension between innovation and affordability—this is a grounded look at one of ...
