[NR] The Ministry of Health’s Drug Advisory Committee has not recommended listing emicizumab on the Medication Assistance Fund (MAF) in line with its registered indication as prophylaxis for patients with haemophilia A with or without factor VIII inhibitors to prevent or reduce bleeding episodes, due to unfavourable cost-effectiveness compared with subsidised alternatives at the price proposed by the manufacturer.
