Global Health Progress and the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) are proud to host an hour-long, conversation focused on the promise of medical innovation for global health with John C. Lechleiter – Chairman, President and CEO of Eli Lilly and President of IFPMA.

Among international global health stakeholders, the research-based pharmaceutical industry is an essential and unique contributor by researching and developing innovative medicines and vaccines. Successes like the eradication of polio in India, dramatic improvements in cancer survival, and vaccine-related prevention of disease are testament to the impact that the pharmaceutical industry can have on health around the world. However, many challenges remain to sustain and improve health outcomes through pharmaceutical innovation.

Topics that will be addressed during the hour-long conversation include:
changing how we drive innovation
innovation for neglected and rare diseases
the power of innovation-focused partnerships for global health
sustaining innovation and access: role of incentives
the different dimensions of value delivered by innovation

The programme is not available.
