Expect new treatment options
Doveprella, a new tuberculosis drug that appeared 50 years, is expected to be listed on the insurance benefit list.

After passing the HIRA's Drug Benefit Evaluation Committee in September, the negotiation process began as soon as possible, drawing positive results. As a result, if only the Health Insurance Policy Review Committee passes, the benefit will be applied without any major problems. Doveprella, which was approved domestically in October last year after U.S. approval in September 2019, can be used as a combination of Bedaquiline and Linezolid in adult patie
