Foundation to co-host event focused on patient reach alongside UNGA 2025

In September 2025, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will open its 80th session in New York, where the Foundation will host a series of events focused on identifying solutions to current access challenges and on sustainably improving the availability and affordability of essential healthcare products worldwide.

Among these events is a high-level, closed-door roundtable titled “Health equity event: Measuring & reporting patient reach", co-hosted in collaboration with PGIM and Jennison Associates. The event will convene senior representatives from pharmaceutical companies, institutional investors and access-to-medicine experts in an open forum held under the Chatham House Rule to discuss company strategies related to patient reach, or the number of people reached via companies’ access efforts. The roundtable will be structured around a series of thematic discussion rounds guided by key questions. These include: 

• Round 1 – Methodology & scope: How can companies refine methods and reporting to fit different contexts and scenarios?  

• Round 2 – From reporting to impact: How can companies set meaningful goals around impact, and demonstrate tangible progress towards these goals?  

• Round 3 – Alignment with financial metrics: How can these metrics be meaningfully linked to financial strategy?

Other events in the series include a networking reception co-hosted with MedAccess and a roundtable discussion titled "Bridging the gap: Scaling innovative approaches to NCD medicine access in LMICs", co-hosted with the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), NCD Alliance (NCDA) and NCD Policy Lab.
