Av 173 läkemedel som godkändes av europeiska läkemedelsmyndigheten EMA mellan 2020 och 2023 var bara 86 tillgängliga i Sverige i början av 2024.

Kartläggningen är en signal om att det finns stora utmaningar i det svenska läkemedelssystemet när det gäller beslutsprocesserna för att införa nya läkemedel.
