SGK to add a drug used in cystic fibrosis treatment to reimbursement

Official statement or regulation

A statement by a ministry, institution or international organisation, or a change in regulations. It is not evidence about how well a treatment works.

SGK (Social Security Institution) announced that it will add a drug used to treat cystic fibrosis to the reimbursement list. Five cancer immunotherapy drugs will also be added to the list. About 1,000 people with cystic fibrosis are expected to benefit from the regulation.

What does it mean for patients and families?

A health board report is needed to access the drug. People with cystic fibrosis can find out the report requirements from the center that follows them.
