The introduction of biosimilars into the rheumatology field could lead to dramatic cost savings as has been observed in certain European countries. Their implementation and acquisition, however, is not the same across the world. Many rheumatologists have developed a negative perception toward biosimilars and the process of non-medical switching. As important stakeholders, their views and concerns need to be addressed to ensure an effective introduction of these therapeutic agents. Mohammed Omair and colleagues evaluated how Arab rheumatologists perceive biosimilars in view of understanding the manufacturing and approval process during the Arab League Against Rheumatism Conference (ArLAR) [1].
