The Working Group on Health, Medicines, and Innovation is an initiative promoted by organizations and experts dedicated to defending the right to health, development cooperation, consumer associations, and professionals from the areas of public health, medicine and health economics. The group will be launched on January 20th at an event entitled “Access to medicines and innovation in times of crisis” which will take place at the Ateneo de Madrid.
This working group emerged due to concerns regarding the impact that certain measures adopted in response to the financial and economic crisis are having on access to health services and medicines in Europe; particularly in countries most affected by the crisis, such as Spain. In addition to observing this current situation, the group also bases its creation on the structural weaknesses apparent in the processes of research, development, regulation and commercilization of health technologies, not only in Spain, but also at the global level.
Participation in this event is by invitation; if you would like to attend, please contact us through email at: saludporderecho@saludporderecho.org
The working group is made up of the following organizations: La Confederación Española de Consumidores y Usuarios, Farmacéuticos sin Fronteras, Médicos del Mundo, No Gracias, Salud por Derecho, Trans-Atlantic Consumer Dialogue and individual experts, David del Campo, Joan Rovira, Xavier Seuba and Judit Rius.
