Duane Schulthess of Vital Transformation sits down for a one on one discussion with Luca Pani, the Director General of the Italian Medicines Agency, to discuss his new book “Sustainable Innovation: Medicines and the Challenges for the Future of our National Health Service”.

This 30 minute podcast recording at the AIFA digs into Italy’s very successful outcomes based reimbursement system launched by Prof Pani, as well as the implications and needs of an open data system for improving health and preventing disease.  The podcast also investigates the opportunities and challenges presented by next generation therapies such as regenerative medicines, gene therapies and immuno-oncology treatments given the experience of the new class of Hepatitis C drugs.
