I hope希望 you're all healthy健康,
0
1037
1964
我希望你们都身体健康,
00:11
and I hope希望 we will all remain healthy健康
for the indefinite不定 future未来.
1
3025
4177
我希望我们未来也都会很健康。
00:15
But that hope希望 is a little bit unrealistic不切实际,
2
7800
2770
但是这个愿望有一些不现实,
00:18
and so I've got a second第二 back-up备份 hope希望.
3
10594
1966
所以我有个退一步的愿望。
00:20
The second第二 back-up备份 hope希望 is that,
insofar只要 as we have health健康 problems问题,
4
12584
4138
退一步的愿望是,
只要我们有健康问题,
00:24
we will have good medicines药品
to take care关心 of them.
5
16746
3335
就会有好的药物来解决。
00:28
Medicines药品 are very cheap低廉 to produce生产
and they're very effective有效 --
6
20105
4368
药物成本很低,并且很有效——
00:32
much more pleasant愉快, actually其实,
than the alternatives备择方案:
7
24497
3143
实际上也比其他选择
更容易让人接受:
00:35
hospitalization住院治疗, operations操作,
emergency rooms客房, the morgue停尸房 ...
8
27664
4052
像住院,手术,急救室,太平间…
00:40
None没有 of these are good things.
9
32271
1566
以上这些都不是好事情。
00:41
So we should be very grateful感激
that we have pharmacologists药理学家 around,
10
33861
3591
所以我们应该感谢药剂师的存在,
00:45
people who research研究 these things
and develop发展 new medicines药品.
11
37476
2917
那些研究和设计新药品的人员。
00:49
And we should be grateful感激
that we have a pharmaceutical制药 industry行业
12
41013
3763
我们还应该感谢支持药剂师们工作
00:52
that supports支持 their activities活动.
13
44800
2091
的制药工业。
00:55
But there is a problem问题,
and you can tell from the fact事实
14
47599
3035
但是有个问题,
你们也许发现了
00:58
that the pharmaceutical制药
industry行业 isn't well-loved深受喜爱.
15
50658
2450
制药业并不受欢迎的事实。
事实上,论受欢迎程度,
它与烟草业和武器生产行业
01:01
In fact事实, in terms条款 of popularity声望, they rank
just about with the tobacco烟草 companies公司
16
53132
4960
01:06
and the arms武器 manufacturers制造商.
17
58116
1740
不相上下。
01:08
So that's the problem问题
I want to talk with you about today今天.
18
60352
3818
所以这就是我今天想
与你们谈论的问题。
01:13
How would you organize组织
the pharmaceutical制药 industry行业?
19
65384
2803
你会如何组织制药业?
01:16
If we did it all over again,
how would you do it?
20
68211
2402
如果所有都重来,
你会怎样做?
01:18
I think we would think
of three main主要 principles原则.
21
70637
3101
我认为我们应该考虑
三个主要原则。
01:22
The first one is:
22
74202
1167
第一个是:
01:23
we want patients耐心 to have access访问
to all the important重要 medicines药品.
23
75393
4346
我们想要病人能够获得
所有重要的药物。
01:27
Remember记得, these things
are very cheap低廉 to produce生产.
24
79763
2774
请记住,药物的生产费用十分便宜。
01:30
So everybody每个人 in the world世界
should have access访问
25
82561
2725
所以世界上的每一个人都应该
01:33
to all the important重要 medicines药品.
26
85310
2294
能获取到所有重要药物。
01:36
Secondly其次, we want innovative创新 activities活动,
27
88081
2908
第二点,我们要让研发活动,
01:39
the research研究 and development发展
that pharmaceutical制药 companies公司 do,
28
91013
3832
制药公司的所有研究与开发工作,
01:42
to track跟踪 the diseases疾病 that are
the most important重要, the most damaging有害.
29
94869
3678
去追踪最重要,
最具有破坏性的疾病。
01:46
We want them to aim目标
for the greatest最大 health健康 impact碰撞.
30
98571
3071
我们想让他们着眼于
最大范围的健康影响。
01:50
And thirdly第三, we want
the whole整个 system系统 to be efficient高效.
31
102256
3290
还有第三点,我们想要
整个系统有效运转。
01:53
We want as little of the money
that goes into the system系统 to go to waste浪费,
32
105570
4828
我们不希望进入
这个系统的资金被浪费,
01:58
to go for overhead高架,
for red tape胶带, and so on and so forth向前.
33
110422
3506
被过度使用,用于官僚主义
和其他不恰当的领域。
02:02
Very simple简单 three points.
34
114484
1938
非常简单的三点。
02:05
Now what about the existing现有 system系统?
35
117636
1960
那现存的系统呢?
02:07
I think it does poorly不好
on all these three counts计数.
36
119620
3599
我认为它在这三点上
做得非常糟糕。
02:11
First, universal普遍 access访问: forget忘记 about it.
37
123243
2591
第一,普遍的获取权:不用说了。
02:14
The vast广大 majority多数 of human人的 beings众生
do not have access访问 to medicines药品,
38
126390
4142
大部分人并没有药物的获取权,
02:18
at least最小 while they're still under patent专利.
39
130556
2353
至少在药物还在专利保护期时。
02:22
There are extremely非常 high markups标记,
and that's the problem问题.
40
134480
3445
这里有极高的加价,
这是问题所在。
02:25
The problem问题 is that even though虽然
these medicines药品 are very cheap低廉 to produce生产,
41
137949
3929
问题在于即便药物成本非常便宜,
02:29
they cost成本 a great amount of money
during the time that they're under patent专利,
42
141902
4365
它们在专利保护期内却售价不菲,
02:34
and the reason原因 for that is
that rich丰富 people can pay工资 a lot of money.
43
146291
4713
原因是那些有钱人可以付很多钱。
02:39
Pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
have a temporary临时 monopoly垄断;
44
151028
2592
制药公司有暂时性的垄断;
02:41
they price价钱 for the rich丰富,
they forget忘记 about the poor较差的.
45
153644
3044
他们为富人定价,而忽略了穷人。
02:45
The second第二 problem问题 is innovation革新.
46
157334
2295
第二个问题是创新。
02:48
Again, we don't focus焦点 on the diseases疾病
that do the most damage损伤,
47
160082
4573
我们聚焦最具破坏性的疾病,
02:52
and that's often经常 put
into the phrase短语 "the 10/90 gap间隙."
48
164679
4699
而这经常被称为“10/90的差距”
02:57
Ten percent百分 of all the money spent花费
on pharmaceutical制药 research研究
49
169402
3683
10% 的全部医药研究费用
03:01
is focusing调焦 on diseases疾病
that account帐户 for ninety九十 percent百分
50
173109
3127
花在占全球疾病负担90%
03:04
of the global全球 burden负担 of disease疾病.
51
176260
2112
的疾病上面。
03:06
And vice versa反之亦然 -- ninety九十 percent百分
of the money is spent花费 on diseases疾病
52
178396
3718
反之——90% 的钱花在了
占全世界正在攻克的
10% 的疾病上面。
03:10
that account帐户 for only ten percent百分
of the global全球 burden负担 of disease疾病.
53
182138
3639
03:13
So there's a huge巨大 mismatch不匹配 between之间
where we spend the research研究 money
54
185801
4697
所以我们花在研发上的钱
跟存在的最大问题
03:18
and where the greatest最大 problems问题 are.
55
190522
2637
极不匹配。
03:21
Now, both these problems问题 --
56
193778
1396
这两个问题——
03:23
the problem问题 with innovation革新
and the problem问题 with access访问 --
57
195198
2745
研发问题,以及可获取问题——
都和这件事有关:
03:25
have to do with this:
58
197967
1415
03:28
the distribution分配 of money in the world世界.
59
200118
1923
世界财富的分配
03:30
It's extremely非常 unequal不等.
60
202065
1293
是极其不平等的。
03:31
The blue蓝色 area here is the top最佳 quarter25美分硬币
of the human人的 population人口.
61
203382
4339
蓝色部分是最富有的人口。
03:36
They have more than ninety九十 percent百分
of the global全球 household家庭 income收入.
62
208170
3668
他们拥有超过 90% 的全球家庭收入。
03:40
The bottom底部 half of humanity人性,
on the other hand,
63
212399
2477
底下部分的人口,另一方面,
03:42
has not even three percent百分
of global全球 household家庭 income收入.
64
214900
3299
家庭收入占比甚至不到 3%。
03:46
So if you're a pharmaceutical制药 company公司
and you look for profit利润 opportunities机会,
65
218223
4435
所以如果你是制药公司,
在寻找赚钱机会,
03:50
you look at this sort分类 of chart图表 and say,
"Where's哪里 the money?
66
222682
2946
就应该看看这个调查表,
然后问:“钱在哪里?
03:53
What am I going to research研究?
67
225652
1583
我该研究些什么?
03:55
Who am I going to provide提供 with medicines药品?"
68
227259
2390
我该为谁提供药品?”
03:58
And again, that is in the context上下文
of there being存在 only one way
69
230982
3752
同样的,在现有的背景下
04:02
in which哪一个 pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
make money under the present当下 system系统,
70
234758
3425
制药公司赚钱的唯一办法
04:06
that is, through通过 patent-protected专利保护 markups标记.
71
238207
2172
就是通过专利保护加价。
04:08
That's how they make their money,
through通过 markups标记.
72
240403
2419
这就是他们赚钱的方式。
04:10
And if you make money through通过 markups标记,
73
242846
2043
如果你通过加价去赚钱,
04:12
then obviously明显, you will go to where
the people have the most income收入.
74
244913
4827
那么,很明显你会向
那些最富有的人群收费。
04:19
Now in terms条款 of overall总体 efficiency效率,
75
251232
1742
在整体效率方面,
04:20
the system系统 also does very, very poorly不好.
76
252998
2953
这个系统的运作同样非常糟糕。
04:24
A lot of money goes
for lobbying游说 politicians政治家
77
256553
2591
很多钱被游说政客们收入囊中,
04:27
in order订购 to extend延伸 patent专利 periods --
to "evergreen常绿," as it's called.
78
259168
3733
目的是延长专利有效期——
也被他们叫做“常青树”,
04:30
Data数据 exclusivity排他性 and so on.
79
262925
1688
还有数据垄断等等问题。
04:32
A lot of money goes for gaming赌博,
80
264637
1510
很多钱被花在竞争上,
04:34
where brand-name品牌 companies公司 pay工资 generic通用
companies公司 to delay延迟 entry条目, for example.
81
266171
5848
例如,品牌公司向仿制药公司付钱
以延迟他们进入市场的时间。
04:40
A lot of money goes to take our patents专利
in all the different不同 jurisdictions司法管辖区.
82
272043
3895
很多钱花在了在不同
司法管辖区获得专利上,
04:43
Money goes – even larger
amounts – for litigation诉讼.
83
275962
2570
甚至有更大金额的资金被用于诉讼。
04:46
They're litigating诉讼 endlessly不休 --
84
278556
1552
公司间无休止的诉讼——
04:48
brand-name品牌 company公司
against反对 brand-name品牌 company公司,
85
280132
2174
品牌公司对品牌公司,
04:50
brand-name品牌 company公司
against反对 generic通用 company公司 ...
86
282330
2301
品牌公司对仿制药公司…
04:52
Enormous巨大 amounts go there.
87
284655
1389
巨大的资金被浪费在了这里。
04:54
People say pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
make a lot of profit利润.
88
286068
3069
人们都说制药公司利润颇丰。
04:57
Well, yes and no; they do, but a lot of it
goes to these wasteful浪费 activities活动.
89
289161
4885
这话对,也不对:他们确实有钱,
但是大部分都花费在了无用的事情上。
05:02
Deadweight无谓 losses损失 -- I won't惯于
even tell you what they are,
90
294070
2747
无谓损失——我就不细说了,
05:04
because it's too complicated复杂.
91
296841
1427
这个概念太复杂,
但也有毫无疑义的市场营销。
05:06
But there's also wasteful浪费 marketing营销.
92
298292
2607
05:08
A lot of the money
that pharmaceutical制药 companies公司 make
93
300923
3253
制药公司的很多盈利
05:12
goes into advertising广告 campaigns活动,
94
304200
1772
被用于广告投放,
05:13
trying to win赢得 favor偏爱 with doctors医生,
95
305996
1753
试图获得医生青睐,
05:15
trying to persuade说服 patients耐心
to try this medicine医学.
96
307773
2645
试图说服患者使用他们的药物。
05:18
And these marketing营销 battles战斗,
of course课程, are a pure waste浪费,
97
310858
2765
当然,这些市场营销大战
纯属浪费资源,
因为当一个公司花钱
让患者使用他们的药物,
05:21
because what one company公司 spends
to get patients耐心 over to their drug药物,
98
313647
3285
另外的公司也会花钱
把患者赢回来。
05:24
another另一个 company公司 spends to win赢得 them back.
99
316956
1982
05:27
And then there is counterfeiting假冒
in the developing发展 countries国家.
100
319341
2881
同时在发展中国家有许多假冒药品。
世界上很多药物,甚至占销售量的50%
05:30
A lot of the drugs毒品 there, often经常 more than
fifty五十 percent百分 of what's sold出售,
101
322246
3381
05:33
are counterfeit伪造 drugs毒品, where people say,
102
325651
1968
都是假冒的药品,那边的人说,
"因为这药太贵了,
我可以给你便宜的。”
05:35
"Because the drug药物 is so expensive昂贵,
I can offer提供 you a cheaper便宜 version."
103
327643
3395
05:39
But of course课程 it's not the real真实 thing,
104
331062
1896
但当然它们是不一样的,
它要么是稀释的,
或者是完全没有用的。
05:40
it's either diluted
or it's completely全然 inert惰性的.
105
332982
2566
05:43
So on the whole整个, all the money
that is spent花费 on pharmaceuticals药品 --
106
335572
3678
所以总体来说,花费
在制药业的所有资金——
05:47
and it's roughly大致 a trillion dollars美元
now, per annum每年 --
107
339274
3312
现在每年将近万亿美元——
05:50
much of that money
is absolutely绝对 going to waste浪费,
108
342610
2987
大部分绝对被浪费掉了,
05:53
it's not going to where
it should be going,
109
345621
2095
没有花费在正确的地方,
05:55
namely亦即, to the development发展
of new medicines药品
110
347740
2326
即开发新药品
05:58
and to the manufacturing制造业
of ones那些 that we already已经 have.
111
350090
3024
以及生产我们已经
研发出的药品上。
06:02
Now, many许多 people think
that the solution to the problem问题
112
354061
2573
很多人认为这个问题的解法在于
06:04
is moral道德 pressure压力
on pharmaceutical制药 companies公司.
113
356658
2934
向制药公司施加道德压力。
06:08
And, sure -- pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
have moral道德 obligations义务,
114
360719
3303
是的——制药公司有道德义务,
06:12
just like we do.
115
364046
1401
就像我们一样。
06:13
When we have to make a choice选择,
116
365471
1443
当我们必须做决定时,
06:14
often经常 between之间 having a little extra额外 money
and saving保存 a human人的 life,
117
366938
3397
在拥有更多的钱
和拯救人类生命之间二选一,
06:19
we often经常 feel that we have a duty义务
to spend the money
118
371105
3314
我们总是感到有责任
花费那些钱
06:22
and save保存 the life.
119
374443
1294
去拯救生命。
06:23
And why should pharmaceutical制药
companies公司 be any different不同?
120
375761
2986
为什么制药公司应该有所不同呢?
06:27
But really, it isn't realistic实际
to expect期望 pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
121
379663
4510
但是实话实说,期待制药公司
06:32
to act法案 as well as you
or maybe I might威力 act法案.
122
384197
3447
像你们一样行事,是不切实际的。
06:36
And the reason原因 is threefold三倍.
123
388342
1638
原因有三。
06:38
One is that pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
are bound to their shareholders股东.
124
390605
4169
第一,是制药公司必须听从他们的股东。
06:43
The executive行政人员 of such这样 a company公司
wouldn't不会 last very long
125
395441
3228
如果公司高管花钱是出于好意,
06:46
if he gave a lot of money away,
or she, for good purposes目的,
126
398693
4264
但因此造成了股东损失,
06:50
and thereby从而 lost丢失 money
for the shareholders股东.
127
402981
3912
这样的高管干不了多久,
06:54
They would be replaced更换.
128
406917
1308
很快会被换掉。
06:56
Also, pharmaceutical制药 companies公司 stand
in fierce激烈 competition竞争 with one another另一个,
129
408905
3813
同时,制药公司之间
存在激烈竞争,
07:00
and if you do more, if you are nicer更好
than the other company公司,
130
412742
3365
如果你付出更多,
如果你比别的公司善良,
07:04
sooner or later后来, you'll你会 be
driven驱动 out of the market市场.
131
416131
2544
迟早,你会被挤出市场,
根本无法存活。
07:06
You will not survive生存.
132
418699
1159
07:07
The other company公司 will gain获得 market市场 share分享.
133
419882
2213
其他公司会借此
扩大他们的市场份额。
07:11
And finally最后, remember记得 --
134
423294
1527
最后,记住——
07:12
the entire整个 industry行业
is dependent依赖的 for its income收入
135
424845
3052
整个工业的收入依赖于
07:15
on one thing and one thing only: markups标记.
136
427921
2270
并且只依赖于一件事:加价。
07:18
And ultimately最终, you have
to be sustainable可持续发展.
137
430968
3785
你总得持续发展下去。
07:22
If you spend a lot of money
on helping帮助 poor较差的 people
138
434777
2335
如果你花费很多钱帮助穷人
07:25
and you don't get paid支付 for it,
and you lose失去 this money;
139
437136
2614
并且得不到回报,
那么你就损失了这些钱;
07:27
you cannot不能 continue继续
with your innovative创新 activities活动.
140
439774
4111
你就无法继续进行创新活动。
07:32
So for these reasons原因,
it's just unrealistic不切实际
141
444456
2257
基于以上这些原因,
这就是为什么
07:34
to expect期望 that pharmaceutical制药 companies公司
will solve解决 the problem问题
142
446737
3491
期待公司基于道德去解决这个问题
07:38
on moral道德 grounds理由.
143
450252
1632
并不现实。
07:39
Who, then, should solve解决 the problem问题?
144
451908
1781
那么,谁能来解决这个问题?
07:41
I suggest建议 it has to be us.
145
453713
1445
我建议,让我们来做。
07:43
We, citizens公民 and politicians政治家,
have to do better
146
455662
3755
我们,公民和政治家们,
07:47
in terms条款 of regulating调节
the pharmaceutical制药 industry行业,
147
459441
3123
在监管制药工业方面
可以做得更好,
07:50
focusing调焦 them,
giving them the right incentives奖励,
148
462588
2632
聚焦他们,给予他们正确的激励,
07:53
focusing调焦 them on the problems问题
that really matter.
149
465244
2742
使他们聚焦在那些
真正重要的问题上,
07:57
The potential潜在 gains收益 here are enormous巨大.
150
469452
3026
其中潜在的收益是巨大的。
08:00
About one third第三 of all deaths死亡
each day, each year,
151
472502
4556
每天,每年大约有 1/3 的死亡
08:05
are due应有 to the diseases疾病 of poverty贫穷
in the developing发展 world世界.
152
477082
3412
是由于发展中国家的
贫困导致的。
08:08
Fifty五十 thousand people every一切 day
die prematurely过早 from these diseases疾病.
153
480518
6024
每天有五万人死于这些疾病。
08:15
And that's not even counting数数
all the diseases疾病
154
487122
2569
这还不包括我们
08:17
that we know only too well
in the rich丰富 countries国家:
155
489715
2522
在富裕国家所熟知的所有这些疾病:
08:20
cancer癌症, heart disease疾病 and so on.
156
492261
1918
癌症,心脏病等等。
08:22
Again, poor较差的 people die often经常 much earlier,
157
494203
2623
而且,穷人的寿命也比较短,
08:24
because they don't have good medical care关心,
including包含 good medicines药品.
158
496850
3800
因为他们没有良好
医护条件,包括医药。
08:29
And even in rich丰富 countries国家, many许多 patients耐心
are not getting得到 the best最好 medicine医学.
159
501672
4402
甚至在富裕的国家,很多病人
也没能得到最好的药物。
08:34
That's sometimes有时 due应有 to the fact事实
that insurance保险 companies公司 won't惯于 cover it,
160
506098
3478
这有时候是因为
保险公司不包含相关费用,
因为它的价钱高得离谱。
08:37
because the price价钱
is so absolutely绝对 ridiculous荒谬.
161
509600
2696
08:40
And it's also due应有, sometimes有时,
162
512320
1572
这也是因为,有时候,
08:41
to the fact事实 that doctors医生
and patients耐心 are falsely influenced影响
163
513916
3659
医生和患者实际上
被制药公司的广告误导了。
08:45
by advertising广告 campaigns活动
of pharmaceutical制药 companies公司.
164
517599
3236
08:50
So what can we do?
How can we change更改 the system系统?
165
522169
2807
那么,我们能做些什么?
我们怎样改变这个系统?
08:53
I want to show显示 you a way
in which哪一个 we can better incentivize激励
166
525000
3617
我想向大家展示一个
可以更好地
08:56
pharmaceutical制药 innovation革新 and
the provision规定 [of] medicines药品
167
528641
3472
激励医药公司创新
以及对富人穷人一视同仁
09:00
to poor较差的 people and rich丰富 alike一样.
168
532137
1966
的供药系统。
09:02
And that is the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金.
169
534764
1883
这就是健康影响基金。
09:04
The Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金 is basically基本上
opening开盘 up the second第二 track跟踪
170
536671
3962
健康影响基金开通了第二条通道,
09:08
with which哪一个 pharmaceutical制药 innovators创新
can be rewarded奖励 for their activities活动.
171
540657
4400
使得制药创新者的活动
可以得到奖励。
09:13
They have a choice选择.
172
545081
1166
他们有了选择。
09:14
They can either go with the old system系统,
with patent-protected专利保护 markups标记,
173
546271
4671
他们可以继续在旧系统下运作,
专利保护加价,
09:18
or they can go with the new system系统,
174
550966
2389
或者也可以参与新的系统,
09:21
being存在 rewarded奖励 on the basis基础
of the health健康 impact碰撞
175
553379
2698
根据他们开发的药物
09:24
of the medicines药品 that they develop发展.
176
556101
2102
对健康的影响给予奖励。
09:26
And with each particular特定 medicine医学,
they have their choice选择.
177
558823
2868
对于每种特定的药品,
他们有他们的选择。
09:29
So they can be partly部分地 on one track跟踪,
partly部分地 on the other,
178
561715
3047
所以他们可以部分地在一条轨道上,
部分在另外一条,
09:32
with different不同 products制品.
179
564786
1462
提供不同的产品。
09:34
Now, how would
the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金 work?
180
566272
2693
健康影响基金是怎样运行的?
09:38
There would be a fixed固定
reward奖励 pool every一切 year.
181
570045
2228
每年都有固定的奖金池。
09:40
We start开始 with maybe six billion十亿 dollars美元,
182
572297
2000
最开始可能是 6 亿美元,
09:42
but that can eventually终于 be revved兴奋 up.
183
574321
1795
但最后可以是加速的。
09:44
Remember记得 that the total money
that the world世界 spends on pharmaceuticals药品
184
576140
3643
要记得全世界花在医药上的钱
09:47
is a trillion.
185
579807
1158
是兆亿规模,
09:48
So it's a thousand billion十亿;
six billion十亿 is a drop下降 in the bucket.
186
580989
3050
也就是 10 亿的 1000 倍,
6 亿 就如沧海一粟。
09:52
It's relatively相对 small,
but it would work with six billion十亿,
187
584063
2741
它相对来说很小,
但能起到显著的作用,
09:54
and we'd星期三 get a lot of bang for the buck降压
if we introduced介绍 the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
188
586828
3764
如果我们推出 60 亿美元
的健康影响基金,
09:58
with just six billion十亿 dollars美元.
189
590616
1638
就会得到很大的回报。
10:00
If you have a product产品
and you want to register寄存器 it
190
592906
3536
如果你有一个产品,
你想在健康影响基金
10:04
with the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金,
191
596466
1712
去注册它,
10:06
you will be rewarded奖励
for a period of 10 years年份.
192
598202
3391
你将会得到 10 年的资助。
10:09
During these 10 years年份, you get a share分享
of these annual全年 reward奖励 pools.
193
601617
5756
在这 10 年间,你可以
获得这些年度奖励的份额。
10:15
That share分享 would be proportional成比例的 to
your share分享 of the health健康 impact碰撞 achieved实现
194
607397
5410
该份额将与所有这些
注册产品对健康
10:20
by all these registered注册 products制品.
195
612831
1869
的影响份额成比例。
10:23
So if your product产品 accounts账户
for eight percent百分 of the health健康 impact碰撞
196
615162
4645
所以如果你的产品对健康的影响
10:27
of all the registered注册 products制品,
197
619831
2095
占所有注册产品的 8%,
10:29
you get eight percent百分
of the reward奖励 money that year.
198
621950
3684
你那年就会得到 8% 的赏金。
10:33
That repeats重复 for 10 years年份,
199
625658
1877
这会重复 10 年,
10:35
and at the end结束 of the 10 years年份,
your product产品 goes generic通用,
200
627559
3328
在 10 年后,你的产品会变得通用,
10:38
so you basically基本上 lose失去
any further进一步 income收入 from it.
201
630911
3314
到时候你基本上就失去了
再用它赚钱的机会。
10:44
Each year, the health健康 impact碰撞
from your product产品 would be evaluated评估,
202
636081
4069
每年,你的产品的健康
影响将会被评估,
10:48
and you would be paid支付 on that basis基础.
203
640174
2599
你会在这个基础上得到报酬。
10:51
Now, if you take that reward奖励
from the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金,
204
643496
3453
如果你拿了健康影响
基金的奖励,
10:54
you can't claim要求 the other reward奖励,
you can't mark标记 up the price价钱.
205
646973
2954
你不能再要求其他奖励,
也不能提高价格,
10:57
You have to sell at cost成本.
206
649951
1486
只能以成本价出售你的产品。
10:59
What does that mean?
207
651461
1591
那是什么意思?
11:01
Well, it doesn't mean
that the pharmaceutical制药 company公司 tells告诉 us
208
653703
2910
并不是说制药公司就公布了他们的
11:04
what their cost成本 is;
209
656637
1164
成本价格;
11:05
but rather, our preferred首选 way
of determining决定 what the real真实 cost成本 is
210
657825
4197
反之,我们首选的确定
实际成本的方法是
11:10
of making制造 a medicine医学, of manufacturing制造业 it,
211
662046
2757
重复制药过程,
11:12
is to ask the registrant注册 to put
the production生产 of the medicine医学
212
664827
3633
是要求注册人把药品生产过程
11:16
out for tender投标, let generic通用 companies公司
compete竞争 for the production生产,
213
668484
5194
对公众招标,让仿制药
公司竞争生产,
11:21
and then the innovator创新 would buy购买
the product产品 from the cheapest最便宜 supplier供应商
214
673702
3944
然后创新者从最便宜的
供应商那里购买产品,
11:25
and would sell it at that same相同
lowest最低 possible可能 price价钱 to patients耐心.
215
677670
5377
再以尽可能低的价格卖给病人。
11:31
So the innovator创新 would make no money
at all on selling销售 the product产品,
216
683762
4988
所以创新者在销售产品上
根本赚不到钱,
11:36
but would make all its money
from the health健康 impact碰撞 rewards奖励.
217
688774
4341
但会在健康影响奖励中
赚到所有的钱。
11:42
Now, how do we assess评估 the impact碰撞
of the introduction介绍 of a medicine医学?
218
694129
4418
接下来,我们如何评估
药物引入的影响?
11:47
Well, we assess评估 it relative相对的
to the preceding state of the art艺术.
219
699289
3759
我们用相对于先前的
技术水平来评估它。
11:51
So some people,
before the medicine医学 came来了 along沿,
220
703072
2668
所以,在这个药物出来前,
11:53
had no treatment治疗 at all.
221
705764
1338
有些病无药可医。
11:55
Now for the first time, they have
treatment治疗, because it's cheap低廉;
222
707126
3029
如今,他们第一次有了
治疗方法,因为它很便宜;
11:58
people can afford给予 it.
223
710179
1220
人们负担得起。
11:59
So here, the impact碰撞 is the difference区别
between之间 being存在 treated治疗
224
711423
3397
所以在这里,影响是得到治疗
12:02
and not being存在 treated治疗.
225
714844
1327
和没法得到治疗的差别。
12:04
In other cases, the new product产品
is better than the old products制品,
226
716766
3670
其他情况中,新的产品
要比老的产品好,
12:08
and so a person gets得到 switched交换的 over
to a better product产品,
227
720460
3128
所以人们会切换到更好的产品,
12:11
and we pay工资 for the impact碰撞,
for the difference区别 the new product产品 makes品牌.
228
723612
4327
我们为新产品带来的不同影响付费。
12:16
If you have a product产品
on the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
229
728748
2288
如果你有个产品在健康影响基金上,
12:19
and you simply只是 switch开关 somebody
from an existing现有 product产品
230
731060
2690
并且你只是简单的让
某个人从现存的产品
12:21
to another另一个 product产品, to your product产品,
and it's no better,
231
733774
2846
转移到你的产品上,
并且效果并没有更好,
12:24
you get no money.
232
736644
1156
你就拿不到钱。
12:25
That's in stark与之形成鲜明 contrast对比
to the existing现有 system系统,
233
737824
2932
这与现有的体制形成了鲜明对比,
12:28
where you get a lot of money
for switching交换 somebody from one product产品
234
740780
3361
现有体制中,你花大量的钱
让患者从一个产品
12:32
to an equal等于 product产品 that is your product产品.
235
744165
2762
转移到你的同等产品中。
12:35
The Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
does not pay工资 for that.
236
747400
2686
健康影响基金并不会为此买单。
12:39
We quantify量化 health健康 impact碰撞 in terms条款
of quality-adjusted质量调整 life years年份.
237
751435
3636
我们用“质量调整生命年”
来量化健康影响。
12:43
That method方法 has been around
for about 20 years年份,
238
755095
2459
这个方法已经有 20 年历史了,
12:45
and it's very easy简单 to explain说明.
239
757578
1528
它非常容易理解。
12:47
Just think of a human人的 life
as a kind of plank.
240
759130
2621
只需要把人的生命想像成一块木板,
12:49
It's eighty八十 inches英寸 long, one inch英寸 high.
241
761775
2731
长 80 英寸,高 1 英寸。
12:52
And when you die prematurely过早
before you reach达到 80,
242
764530
2472
如果你在 80 岁前过早死亡,
12:55
well, the plank is a little shorter.
243
767026
1936
这个木板就会就比较短。
12:56
And if you're sick生病 during
the time that you live生活,
244
768986
3102
如果你在活着的时候生病了,
13:00
the plank is a little bit thinner更薄.
245
772112
1810
木板就会变得薄一点。
13:02
And what diseases疾病 can nibble蚕食 away,
medicines药品 can restore恢复,
246
774688
3700
疾病可以蚕食这个木板,
药物可以恢复它,
13:06
or medicines药品 can avert避免
the taking服用 away of these parts部分.
247
778412
4251
或者药物可以避免这部分的流失。
13:11
And they get paid支付 for that.
248
783203
2314
这些药物的制造商就会因此得到报酬。
13:13
That's the method方法, basically基本上.
249
785541
1672
就是这么个方法。
13:16
Now, we look – of course课程,
each year, we have to assess评估.
250
788808
3503
当然,每年我们都要去评估。
13:20
We have to spend
a considerable大量 amount of money
251
792335
2205
我们必须花大量的钱来
研究这些注册在健康影响基金
13:22
looking at how these various各个 medicines药品
252
794564
1818
13:24
that are registered注册
with the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
253
796406
2203
的不同药物在不同国家
13:26
are doing in various各个 countries国家.
254
798633
1514
的表现。
13:28
And here, statistics统计 is extremely非常 helpful有帮助.
255
800171
2045
这时候,统计就变得特别重要。
13:30
You all know how exit出口 polling轮询 works作品.
This is a similar类似 method方法.
256
802240
3706
你们都知道,出口民调是如何运作的,
这里用的也是类似的方法。
13:33
You look for a statistically统计学
significant重大 sample样品,
257
805970
3535
我们要寻找一个具有
统计学意义的样本,
13:37
and then try to figure数字 out
what the health健康 impact碰撞 of the medicine医学 is
258
809529
3965
然后试图计算出药物在
13:41
in different不同 locations地点,
in different不同 demographic人口 groups ...
259
813518
3043
不同位置,不同人口群体中的
健康影响…
13:44
And, of course课程, you look very carefully小心
at the actual实际 world世界 --
260
816585
3024
当然,你也要仔细审视现实世界——
13:47
this is in contrast对比 to how medicines药品
are today今天 rewarded奖励.
261
819633
4570
这与今天的药物激励方式
形成了鲜明对比。
13:52
Sometimes有时, there is a reward奖励
based基于 on performance性能,
262
824227
2676
有时候,我们会根据表现给予奖励,
13:54
but it's the performance性能 in clinical临床
trials试验, in the laboratory实验室, if you like,
263
826927
4534
但这个表现是基于
临床实验,在实验室中,
13:59
and not the performance性能 in the real真实 world世界.
264
831485
2992
而非真实世界的表现。
14:02
The Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
would look at real-world真实世界 impact碰撞.
265
834501
4013
健康影响基金将会观察
真实世界的影响。
14:06
It would look not just
at the quality质量 of a drug药物,
266
838538
3182
它不仅关注药物的质量,
14:09
but also at how widely广泛 it is distributed分散式,
267
841744
3571
也关注药物被分发的广泛程度,
14:13
whether是否 the innovator创新 manages管理
to target目标 those patients耐心
268
845339
3351
创新者是否能够将目标对准
14:16
who can benefit效益 the most,
269
848714
2260
那些最能受益的患者,
14:18
and also, how well the drug药物
is used in the field领域.
270
850998
3612
以及这些药物在实际中的使用情况。
14:22
So innovators创新 would have much
stronger incentives奖励 than they do now
271
854634
4153
这样一来,创新者就会
比现在有更强的动力,
14:26
to make sure that every一切 patient患者
who takes the drug药物
272
858811
2467
去确保每个使用这个药物的病人
14:29
knows知道 exactly究竟 how to take it
to optimal最佳 effect影响.
273
861302
2991
确实知道如何使其达到最佳效果。
14:32
Today今天, most packaged包装 inserts插页 are not even
translated翻译 into local本地 languages语言,
274
864317
4704
今天,大多数包装说明书
甚至没翻译成当地语言,
14:37
and so it's not surprising奇怪 that patients耐心
don't make the best最好 use of the product产品.
275
869045
4891
所以病人没能充分利用
这种产品就不足为奇了。
14:43
Now, how would the financing融资 work?
276
875555
2008
那么,融资将如何运作?
14:46
Basically基本上, the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金,
as I said, could start开始
277
878369
2964
如我刚才所说,
健康影响基金设立之初
可以 60 亿美元开始。
14:49
with something like six billion十亿 dollars美元.
278
881357
1959
这不是小钱,但跟如今世界上
14:51
It's not nothing, but it's also
not a lot of money,
279
883340
2393
已在制药上花的钱相比,
也不是什么大数目。
14:53
compared相比 to what the world世界 is already已经
spending开支 on pharmaceuticals药品.
280
885757
3111
所以最好的方法是把这当成
14:56
So the best最好 way to think of it
is as a new way of paying付款
281
888892
2822
14:59
for what we are already已经 paying付款 for,
namely亦即, new medicines药品.
282
891738
3159
我们已经在新药上付钱的一种新方式。
15:02
You pay工资 with one hand
through通过 the tax system系统,
283
894921
2746
你一只手通过税收系统纳税,
15:05
but you get something back
with the other hand,
284
897691
2601
用另一只手拿回一些东西来,
15:08
because you also get
these medicines药品 for cheap低廉.
285
900316
2425
因为你也以便宜的成本
获得了这些药品。
15:10
This is not just for poor较差的 people --
286
902765
1720
这不仅只为穷人——
每个人都将以非常低的成本价
获得这些健康影响基金
15:12
everybody每个人 will have these Health健康 Impact碰撞
Fund基金 registered注册 medicines药品 at cost成本,
287
904509
5087
15:17
at a very low price价钱.
288
909620
1879
注册的药品。
15:20
One very important重要 hurdle here,
politically政治上, is that we have to make sure
289
912649
5050
一个非常重要的障碍是,
政治上,我们必须确保
15:25
that we have long-term长期
visibility能见度 for innovators创新,
290
917723
3275
对创新者具有长期的可见性,
15:29
that innovators创新 know
that the money is actually其实 there,
291
921022
2712
确保创新者知道钱确实存在,
15:31
and so we need governments政府
to fund基金 the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金,
292
923758
4161
因此,我们需要政府为
健康影响基金提供资金,
15:35
because only governments政府 can make
predictable可预测 commitments承诺
293
927943
3030
因为只有政府才能对长期
15:38
for a long period of time.
294
930997
2070
做出可预测的承诺。
15:41
Because the Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
registration注册 is voluntary自主性,
295
933699
4794
因为健康影响基金的
注册是自愿的,
15:46
you basically基本上 have
a self-adjusting自我调节 reward奖励 rate.
296
938517
3539
有一个自我调整的奖励率。
15:50
As the rate rises上升 too high,
297
942080
3137
随着利率比率太高,
15:54
innovators创新 will come in
and drive驾驶 the rate down.
298
946129
2822
创新者将会进入市场,
推动比率下降。
15:56
Conversely反过来, if the rate falls下降 too low,
299
948975
2519
相反,如果比率降得太低,
15:59
innovators创新 would be reluctant不情愿
to register寄存器, and the rate will recover恢复.
300
951518
3740
创新者将不愿注册,
而这一比率将会回升。
16:03
So the rate will always be
at a reasonable合理 level水平.
301
955282
3378
所以比率将永远处于合理水平。
16:07
The Health健康 Impact碰撞 Fund基金
is beneficial有利 for all parties派对.
302
959819
3344
健康影响基金对所有各方都有利。
16:11

为他们提供了新的市场,
16:15
and most importantly重要的, by overcoming克服
their public上市 relations关系 problems问题
304

更重要的是,也能
克服一开始我们提到的
16:19
that we started开始 with.
305
971122
1316
公共关系问题。
16:21
It benefits好处 patients耐心,
306
973198
1551
它有利于病人,
16:22
because patients耐心 are much more likely容易
to get the right medicine医学,
307
974773
3372
因为病人更有可能
获得正确的药品,
16:26
and also for these
medicines药品 to be developed发达,
308
978169
2962
以及这些我们最需要
16:29

309
981155
1799
的药品的研发。
16:31
And it also benefits好处 governments政府
or taxpayers纳税人, if you like,
310
983658
