On 27 April 2023, IFPMA and OPPI issued an open letter to Health Ministers of the G20, highlighting the innovative pharmaceutical industry support for G20 health priorities. 

As a global community, we continue to move through a period of great uncertainty, exacerbated by the impact of the pandemic, which continues to place immense pressure on economies and health systems everywhere. In this context, and with just over six years remaining until the 2030 deadline for the SDGs, important forums such as the G20 play a central role.

We are committed to working collaboratively with the G20 on the priorities identified by the G20 Health Working Group: Health emergencies prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR) with a focus on One Health and antimicrobial resistance; Strengthening cooperation with the pharmaceutical sector with a focus on access and availability to safe, effective, quality vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics; and digital health innovation to aid universal health coverage (UHC) and improve service delivery. The innovative pharmaceutical sector has expertise and critical insights across these three priorities.
