IEEPO: A regional approach
We are focusing on six key regional clusters, addressing unique challenges facing healthcare systems and patient communities in those regions to deliver local health impact and global reach.
Our IEEPO Regions
Our first series of regional workshops were hosted in cities from each regional cluster. From the Americas to Asia, locations include San José, Nairobi, Berlin, Istanbul, Cebu City and San Francisco. Patient advocates united at workshops, generating impactful discussions on the most urgent healthcare topics at a regional level, working together to co-create tangible solutions to address healthcare barriers and challenges.
