1/3 I've been thinking back on Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen's win this past weekend. It was an exciting victory and a good reminder of what can be achieved with #collaboration and #teamwork. @Efpia thanks for having me! https://t.co/BCTGNUAMr1

Insightful report from @LungCancerEU on the main obstacles faced by people diagnosed with #lungcancer in Europe. It also sheds important light on the #caregivers’ role. https://t.co/6niInI2XIM

Thinking about on BECA Chair Bartosz Arłukowicz’s comment:“We cannot allow the unequal access to diagnosis and treatment to persist. woman with breast cancer in one country should not have 25% less chance of surviving cancer than a woman with the same cancer in another country!”

[Kees Roks @roks_kees]

#EUnite week maybe over but the ideas stay! Thanks to all panelists for sharp interventions, to our participants for insightful questions, and our moderator @BrusselsGeek for guiding the conversation! This is a movement, let’s keep working together! 8/8 @NovartisEU

[Kees Roks @roks_kees]

I spent the weekend reflecting on the final session of #EUnite week. We discussed the need to see healthcare innovation as an opportunity rather than a threat and strategized as to how we can help protect Europe’s position as a global leader of #innovation. 1/8

[Kees Roks @roks_kees]

.@CSkentelbery, DG of @EuropaBio: #innovation should not only focus on early research or work in the pipelines; it should be standard across the whole value-chain, scaling-up for all. Success will require adopting a holistic approach. 7/8
