14 September 2016 - EFPIA acknowledges the publication of the UN High Level Panel’s report on access to medicines. However, EFPIA believes the report represents a missed opportunity to find viable solutions capable of addressing significant global health challenges.

EFPIA concurs with the report's positive assessment of the pace of rapid scientific progress and its subsequent observation that many patients around the world still do not have access to these innovative and life-saving medicines, but the report fails to address key issues such as healthcare infrastructure and capacity. With this in mind, we would welcome on-going, constructive dialogue about these challenges that recognizes the complexities of the global innovation system.
