Number 5: British Columbia's Biosimilars Initiative successfully saved about $732 million over 5 years by switching over 40,000 patients from reference biologics to biosimilars, while maintaining equivalent health outcomes and reinvesting the savings into the province's public payer program (BC PharmaCare) to enhance drug coverage and health care services.
