Medicines for Europe, the European off-patent medicines association, and CAFF, the Czech generic and biosimilar medicines association, have organised under the auspices of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union a seminar on 10 November 2022 entitled “Ensuring equitable and sustainable access to medicines through a secure and resilient supply”.
The event has been organised in line with the main objectives stated in the European Commission pharmaceutical and updated industrial strategies for Europe, which have been published setting up clear goals for the European Union that delivers on access, availability and affordability while achieving a great open strategic autonomy, also taking into account the Covid-19 pandemic lesson learned.
Repurposing has emerged as an important strategy to address unmet medical need. Yet, there is still significant untapped potential for its application in the EU.
