Corona: The federal government wants to pay for antibody treatment

Corona: The federal government wants to pay for antibody treatment

Antibody therapy was in the media spotlight for the first time when it was administered to Donald Trump (74). The then president of the United States received an injection with a cocktail of antibodies from the biotech company Regeneron, which had not yet been formally approved for treatment. Roche pharmaceutical company Basel is also involved in the development. The antibodies are designed to prevent the virus from spreading throughout the body. Thus preventing the course of dangerous or fatal disease.

The Federal Council wants to arm itself with regard to the supply of important and promising drugs against Covid-19, as announced yesterday in Bern. So-called monoclonal combination antibody therapies will soon be available in Switzerland. Until health insurers take over the costs, the federal government wants to pay for these treatments to be funded.
