Introduction
Cooperation among pharma companies, patients, and patient organisations can bring significant public health benefits.
In building strong partnerships, it is important that all parties openly share their views about the relevance and benefit of their collaboration.
Cooperation among all relevant stakeholders is particularly crucial at this point in time during the implementation period of the EU Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Directive, which was just revised and gives more room to the patients and health care professionals (HCPs) throughout the process. More patients and HCPs need to know about the HTA process, the directive, and the benefit they can gain from actively participating in the process.
In order to support the development or strengthening the cooperation among all relevant stakeholders and better understand the role that patients can play in the process, Pancreatic Cancer Europe and Cancer Patients Europe are organising a webinar to exchange views on how best to enhance the cooperation on the HTA process.

The event takes place online on Tuesday, 28 February 2023, from 15:00 to 16:30 CET.
It aims to exchange views on the best cooperation among relevant stakeholders on the HTA process.
