“ABC Global Alliance Webinar alert June 23rd 4 pm CET, 10 am ET
Why does it take so long for approved new medicines to get to the patients who need them? For too many advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients, the hope offered by new drugs remains out of reach, even in high-income countries.
What can we all do to ensure faster and fairer access to ABC medicines? A panel of experts will share the tools and tips that they have seen make a difference. Expect to take away some practical messages and angles that will help you make progress in your own country.
The speakers:
- Unequal rights for ABC medicines in high-income countries – Dr Fatima Cardoso, medical oncologist and president of ABC Global Alliance
- Why are we waiting – and what can we do about it? Trends, barriers and clever moves in market access – Christel Jansen, The Access Embassy
- Clearing the hurdles – tools from pharma that can help improve access in Europe – Mihai Rotaru, Director Market Access, EFPIA
- How to be heard – how advocates have worked successfully in-country – Kirstin Spencer, patient advocate
- Better for all – how can clinicians help improve access? – Dr Fatima Cardoso.”
