NEW INTERVIEW! CPHI Middle East: THE OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING IN MIDDLE EAST AND PARTNERING IN AFRICA At last month’s CPHI Milan – the world’s largest pharma event with 60,000 attendees – one of the key growth markets for the next decade was explored in depth. With the inaugural CPHI Middle East set to launch in Riyadh from December 10th-12th, we spoke with Pushpa Vijayaraghavan Healthcare Practice Lead for Sathguru Management Consultants. Pushpa, who spoke on a panel at CPHI Milan, will also be present at next month’s CPHI Middle East panel on Evolving continental and regional opportunities in Africa. We discussed opportunities in Saudi Arabia to help the government meet its ambitious goals of building an advanced manufacturing and biomanufacturing hub in the region, how global innovators and generic majors can contribute to the region, and how the region can serve as a gateway platform for delivering vital medicines across Africa. CPHI Middle East 2024 will welcome over 30,000 visitors and 400 exhibitors, making it the region’s largest pharma event. As Saudi Arabia’s $12.1 billion pharma market undergoes rapid transformation under Vision 2030, the event will bring new opportunities for private investment and partnerships. With over 81% of generic drugs and 94% of medical devices currently imported, Saudi Arabia offers significant potential for companies to localize production and support its expanding healthcare sector.

🇪🇺 The future of European competitiveness - #DraghiReport: 🗓️ Released on September 9th. ✨This report opens the door to reinvigorating Europe's position in the global pharmaceutical arena. With a sharp focus on I+D, streamlined regulations and key alliances in advanced and biological therapies, it signals a turning point for the EU. 🔍 The report dives deep into 10 industries, including pharmaceuticals, and outlines 5 cross-cutting policy measures that aim to reverse the current trends. 💡 Key Finding: Europe is falling behind in crucial markets like biologic treatments, orphan drugs and advanced therapies. 🏛️ Ursula von der Leyen, President of the #EUCommission, aims to spark a renaissance in EU industry and halt the drift of leadership toward the 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇳. ⚔️ Challenges Identified: 🔻 Insufficient and fragmented public R&D investment. 🔻 Low private investment paired with a weaker supportive environment. 🐌A slow-moving regulatory framework. 💾 Challenges in establishing the #EHDS. 🛠️ Proposed Solutions: 🔬 Enhance coordination of multinational clinical trials. 💻 Boost Darwin EU, a network for non-interventional studies pulling data from across the EU. 🧬 Strengthen genomic sequencing via public-private partnerships to pioneer personalized medicine. 📈 Fast-track market access for new medicines through clearer clinical guidance and improved collaboration on pricing and reimbursement. 📝 Simplify approval processes for innovative medicines with a flexible regulatory framework. 🤖 Create AI guidelines to optimize every stage of the medicine lifecycle, from molecule discovery to post-market surveillance. 💸 Increase R&D investment and build international alliances to cement Europe's foothold in the pharmaceutical sector. 🔸 Nathalie Moll, CEO of #EFPIA, emphasizes that this report aligns with the industry's vision of making Europe a leader once again in R&D, diagnostics and vaccines. 🇪🇸 According to #Farmaindustria, Spain has a prime opportunity to lead in advanced therapies, thanks to its robust infrastructure and alignment with the EU's vision for cohesive policies, which could position the country as a key player in Europe’s resurgence. 💸 The European Commission estimates that achieving the targets outlined in the report will demand an additional 750 bn€ to 800 bn € annually, equivalent to about 4.4% to 4.7% of EU GDP by 2023. 🔗 Resources: https://bit.ly/4e60Uoo https://bit.ly/4e15iVZ https://bit.ly/3AYDORZ https://bit.ly/4e15tR9

During the past few days, IFPMA delivered several statements representing the innovative pharmaceutical industry at the #WHA77. ◾With the Global Self-Care Federation, Global Medical Technology Alliance (#GMTA), Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN International), and the Biotechnology Innovation Organization, we stressed the life-sciences industry’s commitment to a pandemic agreement that strengthens the innovation ecosystem and encourages companies to develop the science and tools needed to respond to the next pandemic, while striving for more equitable access. ◾On the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (#WGIHR), we appreciated the substantial collaborative efforts in advancing pandemic preparedness in the IHR text. However, we underscored that the draft still has open issues that may have a counterproductive impact, including unclear terminology. We urge Member States to ensure that technology transfer remains voluntary and on mutually agreed terms. ◾With IGBA - International Generic and Biosimilar medicines Association, Global Diagnostic Imaging, Healthcare IT, and Radiation Therapy Trade Association (#DITTA), Global Self-Care Federation, World Hypertension League, and PATH, we welcomed the WHO’s continued commitment to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). A life-course approach to tackling NCDs is critical given the unsustainable pressures the rising burden of chronic conditions and co-morbidities are placing on healthcare systems worldwide. ◾We have also delivered individual statements welcoming the strategic focus of the 14th General Programme of Work (#GPW14), supporting the WHA’s proposed strategic priorities on #AMR, and commending the resolution on climate change and health. ➡View and download our positions: https://lnkd.in/eF-6nYCd

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 We are proud to announce that the Operations Research & Logistics WUR group, in collaboration with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, has been awarded a €500,000 grant by ZonMw! This project, selected as part of the "Modeling for Pandemic Preparedness" call, aims to strengthen the resilience of the Dutch pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) in preparation for future pandemics. 🏥💊 Key objectives include: 1️⃣ Stress testing the PSC to enhance resilience. 2️⃣ Developing policies to optimize medicine distribution during shortages. 3️⃣ Predicting demand and mitigating medicine shortages. This critical initiative will bring together wholesalers, pharmacies, end-users, and industry organizations to ensure a more responsive and secure supply chain in times of crisis. 🌐 Congratulations Sander de Leeuw for this exciting contribution to a more prepared and robust healthcare system in the Netherlands! https://lnkd.in/dfniDZUX #PandemicPreparedness #PharmaceuticalSupplyChain #HealthcareInnovation #ZonMW #Collaboration #SupplyChainResilience
