EGA becomes Medicines For Europe

Representing the pharmaceutical companies supplying the largest share of medicines across Europe, Medicines for Europe is the voice of the generic, biosimilar and value added medicines industries in Europe and a leading partner providing better health and better access to all European patients.

The European Generic and Biosimilar Medicines Association is now Medicines for Europe Better access. Better health. Generic medicines are now the cornerstone of European healthcare, the Biosimilar medicines sector is developing rapidly, and the need and opportunity for Value Added medicines will further transform healthcare. Our industries supply the majority of Europe’s prescription medicines which is estimated to grow from the current 56% to 75% in volume over the next 5 years, as the demand for access to high quality medicines for European patients has never been greater.

The repositioning of our association as Medicines for Europe aims to drive greater healthcare efficiency through better health outcomes while providing solutions for the sustainability of European healthcare systems facing increased demographic demands on healthcare services.
