Description

During the webinar the speakers will present the FIFARMA W.A.I.T. indicator, which assesses the availability of innovative medicines for oncology and orphan diseases in 8 Latin American countries: Peru, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Ecuador.

This study is the first survey based on the EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations) Patients WAIT Indicator, which has been continuously evolving since 2004 in EU. FIFARMA has published for the Latin American region for the first time in 2022 and continued in its second version in 2023.

The survey offers valuable insights into the level of accessibility to cutting-edge medicines, aiming to provide a better understanding of the status of patient access across the region. Specifically focusing on oncology and orphan diseases, the survey delves into the challenges and opportunities related to obtaining innovative treatments, with the goal of promoting dialogue and driving positive changes to achieve equitable access to life-changing medications.
