Charmaine Vazquez, Senior Development Manager at The Max Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Last week was a huge one for The Max Foundation as we also hosted a high-level roundtable discussion at the 80th U.N. General Assembly in partnership with Devex. This meeting brought together global health leaders to explore how multi-sector partnerships can drive long-term health system strengthening in some of the world’s most resource-limited countries.
This quote from Pat Garcia-Gonzalez highlighted the difficulty addressing care gaps: ‘You can say your drugs are available for free, [but there’s] still no access, because you have to put all the other things in place. You have to take a holistic approach. Unless the system is sustainable for the patient and their family, it’s never going to work. We have to think about … how can we all, together, coming from different places, put all the systems in place to overcome all the barriers to make sure every patient can have access.’
