1 An introduction to the Essential Medicines concept: balancing innovation with public health priorities WHO HQ, Geneva 11 October 2017 Nicola Magrini Secretary, WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines, Essential Medicines Department, WHO

2 EML 2017: 40 th anniversary Nicola Magrini Secretary WHO Expert Committee on the Selection and Use of Essential Medicines Essential Medicines Department Séminare sur les poliitiques pharmaceutiques, Sept 2015

3 20th EML & 6th EMLc th EML: 433 medicines 6th EMLc (children): 314 medicines 602 pages, >800 references 3 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

4 Contents of the presentation 1. EML a successful evidence-based idea: guiding principles 2. Essential medicines or why some drugs are more important than others 3. Last update (2015): an important one 4. Next update 2017 or what s next 4 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

5 2. Essential medicines why some drugs are more important than other

6 EML 1977: early evidence-based adopter Important medicines for: Antibiotics Neglected diseases Pain Mental health Chronic diseases Cancer Concise and clear Promoting uptake of best research findings on medicines into healthcare and national policies No medicines for: Memory loss and dementia Hepatoprotectants Immunostimulants Osteoporosis Medicines for dubious conditions (disease mongering) No medicines listed subsequently withdrawn for unexpected risks (e.g., cox-2 inhibitors)

7 Essential Medicines Guiding principle: A limited range of carefully selected medicines leads to better health care, better medicines management, and lower costs Definition: Essential medicines are those that satisfy the priority health care needs of the population Selection: Selected with due regard to disease prevalence, evidence on efficacy and safety, and comparative costeffectiveness 7 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

8 EML criteria (EB 109/8, 2001) Disease burden and public health need/relevance Sound and adequate data on the efficacy (on relevant outcomes), safety and comparative cost-effectiveness Absolute cost of the treatment will not constitute a reason to exclude a medicine from the Model List that otherwise meets the stated selected criteria Affordability changed from a precondition into a consequence of the selection (Hogerzeil, BMJ, 2004) WHO responsible management and oversight of CoIs 2008 WHO new Guideline Manual, adopting GRADE Other considerations: regulatory status (off-label), availability, guidelines 8 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

9 Lancet editorial October 24, Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

10 3. EML rules and procedures The WHO EB resolution 2001 EB109/8

11 EML: why it is a 'model List' Model for its selection process ( one medicine per class approach unless clinically relevant differences demonstrated) Model to facilitate efforts to 'improve health' of population Regulation Quality (Rational) Responsible and evidence-based use Procurement and Supply Access: Availability, Affordability, Accessibility and Acceptability 11 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

12 The EML reform in 2002: more explicit criteria 12 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

13 WHO EB 109/8 - Medicines strategy 13 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

16 A more transparent and evidence-based process (EB109/8 2001) 16 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures

17 EML criteria (EB 109/8, 2001) Essential medicines are those that satisfy the priority health care needs of the population (it was deleted the majority of the population) Disease burden and public health need Sound and adequate data on the efficacy, safety and comparative cost-effectiveness of available treatments Need for special diagnostic or treatment facilities considered Absolute cost of the treatment will not constitute a reason to exclude a medicine from the Model List that otherwise meets the stated selected criteria 17 Essential Medicines List: Concept and Procedures
