ORF Panel Discussion - Bridging Access & Innovation in Healthcare Policy | 17th October

.

Greetings from the Observer Research Foundation! ORF is pleased to invite you to a panel discussion on, "Bridging Access & Innovation in Healthcare Policy".  The event will take place on 17 October 2019, at Nilgiri room, The Oberoi, Dr.  Zakir Hussain Marg, New Delhi 110003. About the panel discussion: Expanding affordable access to innovative drugs will play a central role in addressing current and future global health challenges. This is particularly critical for low- and middle-income economies as they look to reduce disease burdens through innovative medicines and strengthen healthcare delivery. Is there a policy framework that would both incentivize life sciences companies to continue risk-taking investments into the research of transformative cures--and make these cures available to patients who can least afford but most need access to them? This discussion will seek to brainstorm & rebuild on best practice policies--including the convergence of intellectual property rights, voluntary licensing and strengthening healthcare infrastructure.
