Market entry agreements (MEA) for pharmaceuticals have become extremely popular and widespread geographically. Emerging countries that have not yet begun to introduce MEAs are now actively engaged in doing so. This book examines the concept of MEAs, detailing how depreciation of some specific regenerative therapies through intangible asset amortization is unavoidable.

The authors provide a historical vision of the development of MEAs with experiences, failures, and successes that have shaped the evolution and place of MEAs in access to pharmaceuticals. They provide an extensive review of MEA typology and propose a new one that is pragmatic and actionable.
