IFPMA

During the launch of our call to action to drive progress on NCDs #FromInnovationToAccess, James Anderson, Executive Director, Global Health at IFPMA reflected on the journey that brought the world to where we are now since the 1st High-Level Meeting in 2011. In his opening remarks, James outlined the strides we’ve collectively made to innovate for and tackle the global burden of #NCDs and #mentalhealth, while acknowledging the distance we still must go to #LeadOnNCDs ⬇️

Regulatory frameworks are the foundation of strong pharmaceutical innovation. They ensure that scientific breakthroughs translate into real-world impact for people and patients. Better regulatory systems mean better health outcomes.     That’s why we’re gearing up for #DIAEurope2025 next week, bringing industry expertise to the table to help shape the future of regulatory science. With the support from our members, we’re actively engaged in several sessions, leveraging industry expertise on regulatory agility, convergence, harmonization, and sustainable approaches to product design and post-approval changes.     We’re also demonstrating how adaptable regulatory systems can accelerate access to breakthrough medical innovations, while ensuring supply chain resilience and continuity.     Read more about how we are showing up at #DIAEurope2025: https://lnkd.in/eVeswTnm, with thanks to Julie O'Brien for her insights. If you’re on the ground, come to our sessions.   📅 18-20 March     #AlwaysInnovating

By 2019, non-communicable diseases (#NCDs) accounted for almost 75% of all deaths worldwide, up from 61% in 2000.   The global burden is undeniable: ◾ 18 million of the 43 million NCD-related deaths in 2021 occurred before the age of 70 ◾ Up to one-third of the global population is living with an NCD ◾ One billion people are affected by mental health conditions.   ➡️ We are not short of goals and targets for NCDs, but progress is lagging. According to the World Health Organization, no country is on track to meet its 2025 NCD targets.   That is why the 4th High-Level Meeting (#HLM) on NCDs and #MentalHealth in September will be a timely opportunity to remind the world of its commitments to address this challenge collectively. The innovative pharmaceutical industry is ready to do its part and help bridge the gap #FromInnovationToAccess.   📢 Our Call to Action outlines policy priorities that will drive real change through 2030 and beyond.

We’re looking forward to the upcoming health roundtable convened by Business at OECD (BIAC), Unión Costarricense de Cámaras - UCCAEP & Cámara Costarricense de la Salud, where two themes will guide the discussions:  💡How can we align health and finance to drive economic resilience? 💡How can we build a sustainable and resilient healthcare ecosystem? Thank you to Yaneth Giha FIFARMA for joining leading experts to discuss how to build trust, strengthen collaboration, and prioritize prevention and immunization as a pillar of resilience. Lifelong immunization isn’t just good health policy; it’s a cost-effective investment in economic resilience and national security - Prevention is smart economics.
