Engaging discussions on day 1 at the Reuters event Pharma 2024 in Barcelona

Engaging discussions on day 1 at the Reuters event Pharma 2024 in Barcelona today.

Key themes revolved around equity in healthcare access and sustainability.

Stefan Oelrich kickstarted the day questioning the feasibility of funding innovative treatments for diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.

Later, Monica Shaw highlighted the stable healthcare budget allocation at 15%, despite significant innovation waves. This challenges the misconception that drug costs solely drive healthcare access and equity issues.

As we navigate these complexities, how do we strike a balance for equitable healthcare access, acknowledging the industry’s contributions to society and healthcare beyond just drug costs?
