Can We Afford the Current Model of Medical Innovation?

Towards New Models of Innovation

18 November 2010, 09:00 - 13:50

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.
