Speaking ahead of the conference, David Epstein, CEO Pharmaceuticals, Novartis stressed a personal commitment:

 

This will expand on our ‘patient declaration’ for holding the people in our company accountable, to taking a large step forward in terms of patient safety, access, transparency, and involving them in clinical trials. I am also working on changing the values of the company, being much more focused on courage, collaboration, integrity and quality, as well as performance – the very things our customers would expect of us.

 

Epstein also joins leaders from LEO Pharma, ViiV Healthcare, Almirall, GSK, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Teva, Celgene and UCB on the stage – as well as patients and patient group leaders – in an unprecedented show of force, the aim being to ensure pharma companies position themselves as a vital partner in the value chain.

 

Over 1000 senior pharmaceutical and healthcare executives will join the CEO keynotes at the summit; taking place from 15–17 March 2016.
