Bridging Gaps: Leveraging the 2024 Access to Medicine Index for Equitable Healthcare
In an effort to bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility and enhance the impact of their collective efforts, EPN in partnership with Access to Medicine Foundation (ATMF) and Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) jointly held a webinar in April. This webinar aimed at disseminating key findings from the 2024 Access to Medicine Index to EPN members, and provide expert insights in the area of access to medicines.
By sharing these insights, the webinar provided a platform to discuss industry trends, evaluate pharmaceutical companies’ contributions to healthcare access, and explore strategies for leveraging these findings to improve access to essential medicines within faith-based health systems.
The joint webinar was aimed to disseminate the key findings from the 2024 Access to Medicine Index (ATMI), with a focus on improving access to essential medicines in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The webinar also provided expert insights into the state of access to medicines, industry trends, and strategies to bridge gaps in healthcare accessibility, particularly within faith-based health systems.

-
2024 Access to Medicine Index: Key findings and implications for global healthcare access.
-
Pharmaceutical Companies’ Contributions: Evaluating the role of industry players in enhancing healthcare access.
-
Faith-Based Health Systems: Exploring how EPN members can leverage the Index findings to improve access to essential medicines within these systems.
