Preeya Beczek from Beczek.COM gives her thoughts on the areas to watch with the new US administration and how Europe might be finalizing preparations for previous legislative changes in an interview with Pharmaceutical Technology®.
The political landscape in the United States has shifted, and while industry is learning about the various changes and new appointments, the full impact is hard to predict, not least because of the continuation effect from previous governments, points out Preeya Beczek, managing director and co-founder of Beczek.COM Ltd. However, there are three or four areas that she believes will be of potential interest with the new administration in place.
“I'm quite interested to think about China relations with the US and this BIOSECURE Act. I think that's going to perhaps impact the import tariffs, and then this could have a ripple effect on the global pharma industry, pharma economy,” Beczek explains. “The second thing, and this is not a new thing, is around anti-vaccine, anti-pharma sentiments, perhaps with the RFK [Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.] influence.”
Additionally, there is also discussion around the cost of drugs and provision of care and privatization that will continue throughout 2025, Beczek adds. “And then this final point I'm going to make is around digital health, health technology, AI [artificial intelligence], and mix that in the balance with data privacy,” she says.
Looking across the Atlantic, towards Europe, which has also undergone political shifts in 2024, industry is still working to get to grips with recent legislative changes, such as the new pharmaceutical legislation and the European Union clinical trials regulation, Beczek remarks. “So, coming back to that thing around information, data security, and what data [are] out in the public domain, right? There're still decisions that need to be made there at the very detailed level, and companies can expect to have detailed discussions around this,” she says.
