Sammanfattning
On 12 March 2013, Jonas Gahr Støre, then Minister of Health and Care Services, declared that patients with metastatic malignant melanoma would receive the drug ipilimumab, provided that they otherwise fell within the approved indication. This was a complete about-turn from the decision made by the Directorate of Health shortly before, and Støre was criticised for this move. In my opinion, this was one of the most visionary decisions he ever made during his career as a government minister.
