Developments in time

2010-2015

At the end of first decade of new millennium, innovation in the healthcare system is primarily dominated by multinational companies. Regulators had generally seen their role as being limited to that of framing regulations to deal with potential safety and efficacy issues, and ensuring compliance with these regulations. Around 2010 after the 2008 financial crisis, instead of seeing themselves as passive responders to events, regulators began to see their role in a much more proactive way. In line with “new governance” agendas and linked to globalisation initiatives, discussions began to take place within regulatory bodies about their role in stimulating changes in the processes and outcomes of health care innovation.
