OUR COMMITMENT ON ACCESS IN EUROPE
MPE is committed to working at a pan-European level, and with our members nationally, to address the inequalities, barriers and challenges preventing optimum treatment and care of myeloma and AL amyloidosis patients. The reasons for access variations are complex and multi-faceted, but we believe through evidence generation and effective collaboration we can develop solutions to improve patient outcomes.
MPE Myeloma Access Atlas is designed to support MPE in this commitment, through providing a platform for our members to see comparative evidence on access and information on potential advocacy actions to address barriers and challenges.
