Milan Mishkovikj on 30 Years of EMA and ELPA’s Role in Shaping European Healthcare

Milan Mishkovikj, Vice-President, Program Manager, and Volunteer at Hepar Centar Bitola, and Board Director at ELPA, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“30 Years of EMA – A powerful milestone and symbol of hope, a triumph of science, and a historic victory for patients across Europe!”

What an enormous honor for ELPA team – the European Liver Patients’ Association – to be part of the 30th Anniversary of the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Together with Europe’s most influential leaders in health, we celebrated three decades of science, trust, safety, progress and future – putting patients at the heart of European healthcare decision-making.

Led by inspiring voices like:

Emer Cooke, Executive Director of EMA
Bruno Sepodes, Chair of CHMP
Steffen Thirstrup, EMA Chief Medical Officer and Chair of the event
Juan Garcia Burgos, Head of Public & Stakeholders Engagement and Co-Chair of the Patients & Healthcare Professionals Working Party
Rui Santos Ivo , Chair of the EMA Management Board
Sandra Gallina , Director-General, DG SANTE

…we witnessed the power of collaboration between regulators, scientists, patients, and policymakers.

We are proud that ELPA President Marko Korenjak now serves on EMA’s Management Board – a historic recognition of the patient voice at the highest level. Our commitment to shaping the future of liver health ( health) in Europe stands stronger than ever.

Together, we celebrate the past and commit to a healthier, more inclusive future.
Patients are not only at the table – we are co-driving change.

I’m truly proud to stand beside two of the most inspiring patient advocates in Europe – Marko Korenjak Korenjak and Marco Greco – who continue to teach us that with passion, vision, and perseverance, the patient voice can transform healthcare at every level.”
