Pharma in focus
Thought leaders of pharmaceutical companies work on innovative solutions that will fundamentally change the health care system and enable new approaches for better treatment outcome.
During the COVID pandemic, pharmaceutical companies have impressively demonstrated how they contribute to the benefit of society. But the pandemic also exposed cracks in the world’s health care systems. Change is required to bring healthcare to the next level.
Experts from leading pharmaceutical companies tell us their visionary ideas to learn from the pandemic and overcome challenges – always driven to grow beyond mediocrity and to contribute to a better healthcare system that puts people first.
Together with Interpharma, we cover the biggest issues the pharma industry is facing – from research and development to real-world evidence, supply chain, sustainability or the digital transformation through highlighting key success factors.
