About GaBI

Sustainability and equal access to health care for all is at risk due to rapidly increasing costs. The reasons for this are diverse: increased standard of living and life expectancy, but also the high cost of new drug innovations. Today’s society is looking for inexpensive solutions to its ever-increasing demands. Healthcare systems endeavour on the one hand to provide groundbreaking, novel solutions to a greater than ever demand for therapeutic assistance, and on the other hand to achieve this in the most cost-efficient way.
