520 _aThe drug industry has a poor public image. Although its role is to treat disease, it has a poorer reputation than cigarette makers or the automotive industry. This situation must be analysed from three overlapping points of view: 1) the complexity of a market, in which most of the costs are hidden; 2) the difficulty of a connected society to organize debates on political questions related to basic values, and finally 3) the pervading distinction between morality and profits. This clarification might help the industry to become a fully fledged actor in the field of healthcare in order to participate in the improvement of the healthcare offer for the population.
