𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗖 The promise of NGS-based tumour profiling for personalised cancer care is well established. Increased investment and awareness highlight its growing importance. However, several political barriers limit NGS accessibility in the APAC region. Addressing barriers to access now will unlock value for NGS in cancer care in the future. APACMed proposes these key policy considerations to address these barriers. However, unlocking the NGS potential requires collective action. Embracing what’s next in cancer care saves lives. Join us in advocating for change and ensuring patients across the APAC region benefit from NGS-driven cancer care.

Korea Medical Devices Industry Association(KMDIA) International Affairs Committee Chairman Kit Tang and Asia Pacific Medical Technology Association (APACMed) CEO Harjit Gill met last month in Singapore to celebrate APACMed’s 10th anniversary. Based on the long-standing partnership between two associations, KMDIA and APACMed agreed to develop a strategic cooperation plan to jointly promote education and training, industry support for regulatory reliance, and regulation improvement by co-developing position papers. KMDIA Vice-Chair Kit Tang said, “As Korea is a leading regulatory country in the Asia-Pacific region, other Asia-Pacific countries will also show great interest in concluding regulatory reliance agreements with Korea,” and added, “We will actively refer to APACMed’s case study and advice on concluding agreements between Thailand and Singapore when promoting regulatory reliance agreements between Korea and Asia-Pacific countries in the future.” #medtech #partnerships #digitalhealth #innovation #advocacy https://lnkd.in/ghrkjcJ8
