Session 8: Patient Access
Session Chair(s)

Ares Trading S.A, Switzerland
Biologic medicines play an increasing role in the patient care across a growing number of disease areas. Access to these modern therapies remains restricted due to the high cost of these medicines. This session will look at the current barriers to accessing existing biologic therapies and how the emergence of biosimilar medicines across Europe and in the US brings the promise to overcome those, offering opportunities for health systems to expand access for more patients, but also foster investment in new areas of care while providing relief on health care budgets.
