Will the next Government commit to a New Medicines Pledge?

A panel discussion

Medicines have a key role in people’s health and on the wider healthcare system. We are living in a fascinating era where medicines development is constantly changing and transforming how patients can be treated. However, patient care in Ireland is not as good as it could be because we do not have fast or fair access to new life-enhancing medicines and vaccines, as is the case in other European countries.

During the forthcoming General Election campaign IPHA are calling for a New Medicines Pledge to be adopted– where doctors can have the right medicine available for prescription for their patients at the right time; where the number of clinical trials in Ireland are doubled; and where patients with rare diseases have faster access to the medicines they need.

Join our panel of experts to hear what the next Government can do to ensure a continuous flow of new medicines for patients in Ireland and to learn more about the IPHA New Medicines Pledge.
