The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), headquartered in Belgium, represents the pharmaceutical industry across Europe. Founded in 1978, EFPIA plays a pivotal role in advocating for the interests of its members, which include leading pharmaceutical companies and national associations. The organisation focuses on key areas such as research and development, access to medicines, and healthcare policy. With a commitment to innovation, EFPIA supports initiatives that enhance patient access to high-quality treatments while promoting sustainable healthcare systems. Its unique position as a bridge between the pharmaceutical industry and European policymakers enables it to influence critical discussions on health and medicine. Notable achievements include significant contributions to public health and the advancement of regulatory frameworks that benefit both patients and the industry.
