2 October 2015 - Speaking at European Health Forum Gastein, European Commissioner for Health Vytenis Andriukaitis called for a new partnership between pharmaceutical companies and member states to ensure access to medicines while securing ​the ​future​ of bio-pharmaceutical​ innovation. He announced the creation of a new working group to look at ​"​new financial models".​ EFPIA and its members are keen to engage in the debate and to partner with payers to deliver outcomes driven, ​sustainable healthcare. This requires a shift in focus from immediate budget impact to long-term, sustainable improvements in patient outcomes and increased efficiency.
