European Parliament Working Group on Innovation, Access to Medicines and Poverty-Related Diseases
At present, we suffer from a lack of public health-driven medical innovation and poor global access to essential medicines. At the same time in the EU and around the world, governments are incapable of facing the growing cost of health care of which medicine prices are an important factor. To respond to global health needs, new models of affordable and socially useful medical innovation are needed. This meeting will bring together experts, NGO representatives, scientists and academics, with input from the pharmaceutical industry, European policymakers and country delegates to advance the implementation of EU policy and budget decisions that support new models of biomedical innovation.
