🎤Moderating a panel at #EHS2025: “The Heart of the Matter: Exposing Europe's Cardiovascular Crisis”, @nmanaras, Partner at @AcumenPA, said:

“We are only two weeks away from the publication of the upcoming EU cardiovascular health plan, making this discussion timely and crucial for understanding Europe’s strategy to tackle heart disease.”

I would add legal/compliance checks (not applicable to all, but definitely the case in some industries).

Time to give up this room view and say goodbye to the Gastein valley and #EHFG2022. @GasteinForum thanks for organising a great conference, we were all in need of meeting in person after all this time.

See you next year for #EHFG2023

A real moonshot 🚀 for a real European #HealthUnion requires a stellar ✨ press office!

Meet Carlotta & Judith! They are in Gastein at the #EHFG2022, connecting journalists from all over Europe with key decision makers, so cutting-edge #HealthPolicy ideas are shared with the 🌍

[Nikos Manaras @nmanaras]

I like very much this approach of culture and behaviour shifting to #wellness and #wellbeing to drive change.

This is where shifting also to “health checks” would work. This requires investment in #healthliteracy and the role of #primary care is key.

@GasteinForum #EHFG2022

[Lisa Lehner @LisLehner]

@BettinaRyll on #CancerPrevention: “People don’t go to #cancerscreenings because they’re associated with cancer.”

➡️ culture-shift to #WellBeing

➡️ @BettinaRyll: “this is what one does”

…relates to people & healthcare systems

#EHFG2022 @GasteinForum @CANCERLESS_EU

[Nikos Manaras @nmanaras]

Stefan Schreck outlines the excellent work @EU_Health has done on #EuropeanCancerPlan 👍🏻.

➡️What we need now is implementation, buy in from Member States and measurement!

On #evidence

@KaisaBxl: it’s not always possible to collect robust evidence for new therapies. Patients might be willing to take different risks compared to payers or regulators.

@GasteinForum #EHFG2022

[Nikos Manaras @nmanaras]

Clear message from @NathalieMoll:

We need to avoid trial and error when it comes to #healthcare:

➡️Agree what the obstacles to #access are and analyse how to overcome them
➡️Agree on the actions, have accountability and measure impact

@GasteinForum @EFPIA #EHFG2022

[Nikos Manaras @nmanaras]

Experts, representatives of payers, patients, industry. Great panel @GasteinForum.

Very well put together by @ESIP_EU & @MSDEurope #EHFG2022

[Nikos Manaras @nmanaras]

Amazing turnout at the interactive session on the #pharmaceutical ecosystem organised by @ESIP_EU and @MSDEurope

Richard Bergström: At the start of the pandemic we had 140+ #vaccine candidates. We ended up using only two. All other companies lost money. If we are talking about #fairness we can’t select where to apply it. It needs to be applied across the board.

@GasteinForum #EHFG2022

[Nikos Manaras @nmanaras]

Cont’d:

➡️#Transparency on how we arrive at the final price is key.
➡️Role of #RWE in decision making is important.
➡️The #pharmaceutical industry contributes a lot for Europe’s economy.

Making medicines more affordable - How can we deliver across the EU?

Join @AffordableMedEU from 07:30 this morning for a breakfast workshop at Hotel Das Alpenhaus to discuss!

[WHO/Europe @WHO_Europe]

The European Region is in a #permacrisis that stretches well beyond #COVID19, #ClimateChange and war.

Other long-running crises are relatively silent like #cancer, heart disease and the epidemic of #obesity.
