At Roche Forum in Basel, healthcare was named a driver of economic growth
At the Roche Media Dialogue 2026 in Basel, company executives and researchers stated that investments in healthcare should be viewed as long-term investments rather than expenses. Estimates cited: pharmaceutical innovations accounted for about 40% of the increase in global life expectancy in 1984–2000, migraine costs Germany roughly €100 billion per year, and every dollar invested in preventing non-communicable diseases could yield $7 in returns.
