On the 5th of February, EFA Director of Policy and Strategy Roberta Savli took part in Patients Access Partnership (PACT) Partners Assembly, representing patients with asthma, allergy and COPD. The future of the organisation was discussed, especially in light of the debate around the future of health policy in the European Union. The European Commission DG SANTE participated in the assembly presenting on the general access to medicines and health policy in the EU.
EFA is particularly interested in, and focusing closely, the file on patients’ access, to prevention, treatment, research, and of course involvement in all decisions influencing their health. Since the creation of PACT, EFA has been a member, joining forces with other key EU partners to fight for better access to care of patients in Europe.
