POLICY DEBATES DURING THE PANDEMIC
While cell and gene therapies are constantly evolving and offer a lot of promise for rare and chronic conditions, they are also surrounded by a range of scientific, logistic and regulatory challenges. There is a clear need for decision-makers and experts to come together to define a sustainable way forward in ensuring safe and affordable access to novel treatments in this space. During this webinar our multi-stakeholder panel discussed transformative therapies and explored their impact on our health and on the systems that deliver them.
