Panel Debate
“Delivering Innovation in Healthcare”
With increasing financial pressures within healthcare, the expense of R&D and resistance to costly new medicines and technologies, how can the cost of innovation be covered? Opposition of the market price of pharmaceutical products may be damaging to the clinical trials and costs in producing safe medicines. How can we tackle R&D regulatory reform to reduce cost and deliver innovative scientific breakthroughs quicker, better and safer?
