 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.

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.

2019 DPRI |Seventh Edition 2|Page

 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 (2018) 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.

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. However, for drugs and medicines with two entries, for patented drugs
and medicines and with limited competition the reference price was set to
lowest. Health facilities may add an allowable margin up to 10% to account for
the inflation.

2019 DPRI |Seventh Edition 3|Page

 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.

How to set the ABC of medicines not included in this edition?

In case where the latest DPRI published has no reference price available for
certain essential medicines, government health facilities and agencies may do
any of the following options in compliance with the Implementing Rules and
Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act (RA) 9184 or the Government Procurement
Act:
o The facility may utilize the previous year’s awarded price as an
approved budget for the contract (ABC).
o The procuring entity may conduct a market survey and use the
cheapest price in the market.

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.
