Avance’s Economics and Policy team has published a detailed proposal for alleviating the regulation of pharmacies in Finland and an assessment of the proposed change’s short- and long-term effects. The report, Renewing the Regulation of Pharmacies in Finland – Assessing the Impact of the Proposed Reform, indicates that access to pharmaceuticals would improve, prices would fall, and innovative new practices would become more prevalent.
