Kamala Harris’ Stance on Health Care
As President Biden steps back from the presidential race and endorses Vice President Harris, attention turns to her more progressive approach to healthcare. Harris, should she win, could bring significant changes to the nation’s healthcare landscape. With her support for Medicare for All and aggressive drug pricing reforms, Harris is expected to have a powerful impact on healthcare policies, especially in light of her strong advocacy for reproductive rights.
At a critical juncture, with her candidacy to be decided at the Democratic National Convention in August, various views have emerged from the biotech and healthcare investment community regarding Harris’ policies.
Health Investment Trends for 2024
A recent health care venture report from HSBC highlights the trends witnessed in the first half of 2024. The report shows that the first half of the year has seen a surge in investment across all health sectors, with a particular focus on metabolic and auto-immune indications. A notable increase in investor-led financings and high deal-value private M&A transactions has been observed, signaling a positive trend in the biopharma sector.
In comparison to the same period in 2023, the first half of this year has seen a higher number of deals and a substantial increase in deal value, indicating a robust investment climate in the health sector.
Regulatory Approval for Eli Lilly’s Tirzepatide in China
Eli Lilly’s weight loss drug tirzepatide, known as Zepbound, has received regulatory approval in China, intensifying competition with rival Novo Nordisk in the Asian market. This approval comes at a time when the global weight loss market is expected to reach $100 billion by the end of the decade, leading both companies to focus on ramping up production to meet the growing demand.
