Jayasree Iyer – CEO, Access to Medicine Foundation
Speaking to PharmaBoardroom in the context of our upcoming InFocus special report on HIV, Access to Medicine Foundation CEO Jayasree Iyer looks back on pharma’s successes and failures in access…
Our members are both general hospitals and specialist centers in audiology, cancer, rehabilitation, dialysis, radiation treatment, and more. The NVZ currently counts 114 healthcare institutions as members.
Our objective is to create the conditions and protections our members need to provide high-quality and effective specialist medical care to their patients. For the NVZ, this means care that, from a medical standpoint, leads to the best possible result.
In the 20 years since the NVZ was founded, the healthcare landscape has changed considerably. The most obvious change has been the government’s continued withdrawal from healthcare, and its cultivation of a system where patients, care providers, and health insurance companies take over the responsibilities. This is precisely why the NVZ is necessary.
Quality care is increasingly in demand – by the government, by insurance companies, but especially by patients. This offers opportunities for the hospital sector. At the top of the NVZ’s agenda, therefore, are making quality transparent, making care measurable, and providing insight into the diversity of hospitals and healthcare institutions.
