This two-day Congress aims to foster meaningful collaborations among industry professionals, advocacy groups, clinicians, researchers, and, most importantly, strategies and best practices for addressing challenges, embracing innovations, utilising new technologies, and implementing concepts that contribute to achieving patient-centric goals. The congress theme, “A strategic approach prioritising the patient’s needs, preferences, and values from drug development to treatment and beyond,” underscores the critical importance of patient centricity and engagement in biopharmaceutical research and development, disease management, and the design of treatments, clinical trials, and other health solutions. True patient-centric solutions necessitate a collaborative endeavor with patients and their caregivers, involving their feedback and insights into medical conditions, experiences, needs, perspectives, and priorities.
