Break the Bubble welcomes COCIR’s Secretary General, Annabel Seebohm. Together with our Senior Counsel Hans Martens she outlines COCIR’s vision for the future of health policy in the EU as well as the contribution of its highly innovative members to the improvement and modernization of European health systems. With almost all the pieces of this new European mandate now in place, here is a vision for European Health policy, for patients and for the industry. This is Break the Bubble.

This episode features a great conversation between our Senior Counsel Hans Martens and Anca Toma, Executive Director of the European Patients' Forum. With the uncertainty surrounding a seemingly fragmented health policy portfolio, Hans and Anca look at EPF’s vision for the years to come in the EU, at what the European Health Data Space will change for European patients, and, among other things, how we can ensure that health inequalities don’t become entrenched. This is Break the Bubble.

How can the EU keep the pace of rapid technological change and evolving healthcare challenges? In this episode of The Break the Bubble podcast, we are joined by Pernille Weiss, former Danish Member of the European Parliament and rapporteur for the EU pharmaceutical legislation directive. Together with our Senior Counsel, Hans Martens, she explores the journey of the General Pharmaceutical Legislation and its future implications. What does it mean to work on such a watershed file? As the new mandate of the European Parliament begins, what is in store for health policy? Is the EU equipped to secure innovation, boost investment in R&D, and be a strong independent player?
