EFPIA workshop debates on health information for patients

9 July 2006

The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), during its annual meeting in Prague, the Czech Republic (see also page 10), organized an interactive workshop with wide representation of the various stakeholders involved in the debate about how to best advance access for all European patients and citizens to relevant health and medicines information in their own languages.

"Improved quality health care information allows for better prevention, early diagnosis, better treatment of disease, as well as improved adherence," stressed Thomas Cueni, chairman of the EFPIA Economic and Social Policy Committee. "Greater participation of well-informed patients in decisions affecting their health is a welcomed reality. There is no doubt it will lead to safer and more successful health outcomes, a more efficient use of health care resources and, ultimately, to healthier societies," he added.
