OVERVIEW

The high and extremely variable prices of medicines in the Philippines impact on access to effective, efficient
and equitable health care. In 2009, a study conducted by Health Action International revealed that there was extreme
variability in the procurement prices of essential medicines across the national and local public health facilities in
the country. On average, originator brands and generic equivalents were procured almost 16 times and 3 times
higher, respectively, compared to prices available on the international market.1

The DOH-Central Bids and Awards Committee (DOH-COBAC) and DOH Hospitals were shown to have more
efficient procurement prices compared to provincial and municipal health facilities, thus leading to variability in
access to essential medicines across the Philippines.

Republic Act (RA) 9502 or the Universally Accessible Cheaper and Quality Medicines Act of 2008 gave the DOH
instruments to monitor and regulate the prices of drugs and medicines to protect consumers and the public
procuring entities from excessive mark-ups applied to prices of medicines resulting from information asymmetry
and the lack of effective market competition.

To address these issues, the DOH Pharmaceutical Division (formerly NCPAM) established a Drug Price
Reference Index (DPRI) for all essential medicines to guide all national and local government health facilities in
the efficient sourcing of pharmaceutical products in the public sector.

What is the Drug Price Reference Index (DPRI)?

The DPRI lists the ceiling prices of essential medicines for government bidding and procurement set by the
DOH for all National and Local Government Health Facilities and Government Agencies. Winning bid prices
of essential medicines within the DPRI ceiling reflect efficient and effective procurement in the government.
Their transparency and enforcement ensure consumer access to medicines and protection from excessive price
mark-ups on medicines.

It aims to improve the efficiency and good governance in the pricing and procurement of medicines in the public
sector through establishing a transparent and publicly available reference price for affordable and quality
medicines. It also aims to guide the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC) in setting reimbursement
caps for medicines both for inpatient and outpatient services.

The DPRI only reflects the acquisition costs including landed cost, packaging, drug content, quality assurance,
manufacturing overheads and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fees. The DPRI excludes other costs such
as pharmacy services, preparation and storage fees, and other reasonable pharmacy mark-ups, which are now
being evaluated by the DOH.

Who should use the DPRI?

All government entities should be guided by the DPRI when procuring medicines. It shall be applied to all forms
of procurement such as public bidding, direct contracting, shopping, negotiated procurement, emergency
procurement and consignment to ensure that the government achieves the best value for money in sourcing
essential medicines.

What are the sources of Price Data?

The DPRI is computed based on the prevailing tender prices of the previous year (2017) reflected in the actual
Purchase Orders (POs) submitted by the DOH Retained Hospitals, Centers for Health Development (CHDs),
Central Office Bids and Awards Committee (COBAC) and Philippine Pharma Procurement Inc. (PPPI) to the
DOH.

The data coming from reputable suppliers are only considered in the database which means that they should be
licensed by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have certificate of Good Manufacturing
Practice issued by the FDA.

How the Drug Price Reference Index (DPRI) determined?

The reference price is set at the Median or the 50th percentile across the range of prevailing tender prices of
essential medicines for each preparation and strength plus 10% to account for the inflation. However, for drugs
and medicines with two entries the reference price was set to lowest plus 10% to account for the inflation.

How often is the DPRI updated?

The DPRI is updated annually. All DOH hospitals and CHDs submit a copy of their latest Purchase Orders to
the DOH Pharmaceutical Division for annual collection and analysis of price data. The updated DPRI is based
on the procurement price data of medicines from the previous year.

Occurrence of Bid Failure

In case of failed biddings, provision of RA 9184 and its IRR shall be applied. All procuring entities are advised
to submit the list of medicines that resulted in bid failure to the DOH-PD. The report should comply the
template provided by DOH-PD which can be downloaded at their website at www.dpri.doh.gov.ph.
