The Life Sciences and Health Care sector is facing a wide range of major challenges driven by the need to protect current earnings, transform business models (to do more with less) and grow new businesses in related areas.
Ongoing challenges include: patent expiration, pressure on pricing from generics and greater focus on comparative effectiveness, increasing attention on enforcement of regulations, new healthcare laws and regulations, fraud and counterfeit, privacy and security and risks associated with diversification into related businesses (e.g., consumer, branded generics and medical devices). Strengthening risk management capabilities and building organization resilience are essential during a period of major change.
