About the program
The ambition
Time has come to prioritize health; to do it together with patients playing a key role to help shape better health systems and deliver better health outcomes. In PFMD, we believe patient engagement is on the cusp of taking a strategic turn, to scale in drug development, to broaden its geographic spread and to expand in other health systems, in digital health and data or in devices. Our belief is that an investment in the patient community will deliver rich rewards, ensuring better outcomes for patients.
Making systematic patient engagement happen was the goal since PFMD’s start in 2015.
Now, 35 partners are putting in the commitment and work to make it a reality.
