(Adnkronos) - “Nella scorsa legge di Bilancio è stata rilasciata l’istituzione di un registro, presso il ministero della Salute, delle associazioni di advocacy, le associazioni di pazienti che operano nel mondo salute” affinché “la loro collaborazione possa essere più sinergica nelle istituzioni di policy che verranno richieste e che vedranno un forte coinvolgimento da parte del mondo delle istituzioni e delle associazioni di pazienti”. Così Eugenio Di Brino, co-founder & partner Altems Advisory, all’evento ‘Insieme alle associazioni pazienti per reimmaginare l’accesso all’innovazione’, primo del ciclo di incontri promossi da Novartis attraverso la piattaforma ‘Partner per il futuro’.

00:00The implementation of the European regulation of HTA, which, as we know, was released in a European newspaper in 2021,
00:14but which officially came into force in January 2025,
00:21basically provides for a joint clinical assessment of some therapies,
00:30specifically oncological products and advanced therapies, as a pilot this year at the European level,
00:41and an assessment of non-clinical domains at the national level, therefore belonging to the Member States.
00:48There must therefore be a strong collaboration between the world of institutions, the world of developers,
00:55scientific societies and patient associations, so that the value of a sanitary technology can be put to the ground,
01:05according to the logic of HTA.
01:07The logic of HTA provides nine different perspectives, which essentially evaluate a new technology.
01:16One of the perspectives concerns the perspective of the patient, of the patient association.
01:21Therefore, a strong collaboration is required in the coming months,
01:28to be able to redesign the process of access and assessment of sanitary technologies in light of this regulation.
01:37At the same time, we are experiencing, and this is what has been released in the last balance sheet law,
01:47the establishment of a register at the Ministry of Health of the patient associations operating in the health world,
02:00so that their collaboration can be more synergistic in the policy institutions that will be requested
02:10and which will see a strong involvement from the world of institutions and patient associations.
02:18In addition, Agenas has also established a stakeholder network within the groundwork of the European regulation of HTA
02:27in the National Programme for HTA Medical Devices,
02:31a network of stakeholders where many patient associations have already made requests
02:38and which will somehow see an operational groundwork in the coming months.
02:47There are many, this year we are putting in place something that has started over the years,
02:56but also the regions, there are many regions that are activating the participant health.
03:01So basically at all levels we see a greater awareness of working synergistically with associations.
03:08It is clear that on the other hand there is a great need for training,
03:13awareness of technical skills to be able not only to bring the patient's perspective,
03:23and therefore the experience of the pathology of their experience,
03:26but to be able to dialogue on the technical skills as well as the other components that will be called in the decision tables.
