What delays access to medicines?
Join our next debate about the root causes of unavailability of medicines and delays for patients across the EU #QuestionsInspireSolutions
The 2020 EFPIA Patients WAIT Survey has found that patients in neighbouring countries can wait over 6 times as long for access to new medicines.
An analysis of the resulting data in a report entitled The root cause of unavailability and delay to innovative medicines: Reducing the time before patients have access to innovative medicines shows there are 10 inter-related factors explaining unavailability of medicines and delays for patients across the EU.

These factors have to do with countries’ pricing and reimbursement systems and companies’ commercial decision-making and operational restrictions.
We invite you to a debate with representatives from patients organisations, decision-makers, public authorities and industry to see if we all have the same understanding of the root causes of the access problems, and to discuss shared solutions.
