On 19th February 2020 EHC took part in “Advanced medicinal therapies : Step up the healthcare revolution now” event at the European Parliament and here is what we took back home from this meeting.
The event dedicated to Advanced Medicinal Therapies (ATMPs) was organized by EuropaBio and took place at the European Parliament. ATMPs are treatment options using human genes, cells and tissues and offering unprecedented results in the treatment of rare diseases and genetic conditions. These treatment options are unique in addressing the disease at its very root and offering the patients the prospect of definite curation. However, many questions and challenges are uprising due to the very fast development of ATMPs and yet unknown consequences on the long term for certain types of these therapies. The event was hosted by MEPs Claudia Gamon (RE) and Tomislav Sokol (EPP), who by the way, had attended EHC Round Table on Markets and Access in December 2019.
