Medichem at Medicines for Europe Board meeting

20/03/2023

This week at Medicines for Europe Board meeting in Brussels, the discussion focused #security on how to prevent medicines #shortages, which can have devastating consequences in terms of #accessibility and also in the context of the upcoming revision of the general Pharmaceutical Legislation.

EU cooperation is essential to:

💊 address the consequences of #Inflation 📈
💊 avoid cost containment measures and improve medicines procurement
💊 stimulate investments in manufacturing of essential medicines and APIs
💊 timely competition and market predictability at IP expiry
💊 introduce regulatory flexibilities 🔀

We are ready to support the European Parliament, the European Commission and Member States through the review of the #EUPharma Legislation intended to address any risk for patients to get their treatment.
