25 February 2025 | 10:00-11:00 CET | Webinar
We are pleased to invite you to an online event marking the launch of a new EFPIA report, “The case for investing in a healthier future for the European Union”.
In a time of slow economic growth, geopolitical instability, and increasing pressures on healthcare systems, strategic investment in health has never been more critical. Our upcoming report highlights the health and economic benefits of investing in prevention, early detection, and treatment of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, COPD, and breast cancer across the EU.
During this webinar, we will explore:
- Why investing in health is essential for economic sustainability and long-term growth.
- How targeted interventions can improve patient outcomes and generate substantial returns on investment.
- How the EU can support Member States in making strategic investments in health, including through the European Semester process.
The event will bring together policymakers, healthcare experts, and industry representatives to explore the findings and implications of the report.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Boris Azaïs, Director Public Policy Europe and Canada, MSD
- Denis Broun, MD, Consultant, R-Health Consult (RHC)
- Antonella Cardone, CEO, Cancer Patients Europe
- Boriana Goranova, Policy Analyst, Economist, DG ECFIN
