Alexander Vershbow, U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, visited Korean Ministry of Public Health on July 19 and had a meeting with Korean Minister (Mr. Yoo). On July 18, Mr. Vershbow requested the meeting and the purposes of his visit are to deliver U.S. government’s concerns on the drug pricing policy of Korean government. On May, the Korean government announced to reform its drug pricing policy of the national healthcare system by adopting measures to positively list reimbursable prescription drugs rather than the current “negative list”, which only lists the exclusions. During the second round of the KORUS FTA, the US negotiators expressed its strong opposition to the positive list system and refused to attend the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Working Group meeting.
