Webinar on Best practices in the public procurement of medicines

Public procurement of medicines (PPM) is highlighted in the European Commission’s (EC) “Pharmaceutical Strategy for Europe” as an area where actions can be taken to improve access to medicines for patients in the European Union (EU). Therefore the EC commissioned a “Study on Best Practices in the Public Procurement of Medicines”, which was recently published by the EC (https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2925/044781). Results of the study on optimising public procurement of pharmaceuticals will be presented in a webinar, taking place on 7 Februar 2023, 10:00 CET. The study analyses practices for pharmaceutical procurement of medicines in thirty-two countries. A focus in the study has also been laid on possible effects of procurement practices on access to pharmaceuticals, which are considered in detail. You will have the opportunity to discuss procurement policies and practices in Europe with invited experts and a wider audience of stakeholders.
