Partnering4PNH
Addressing PNH unmet medical needs: a policy roadmap to aspire for change
About Partnering4PNH
Partnering4PNH is a multistakeholder policy initiative that aims to highlight the gaps and challenges faced by people living with an ultra-rare disease called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) when accessing care and adequate treatments. It aims to examine national and international policies accompanying the patient journey, from presentation of symptoms to diagnosis, to access to treatment and care, as well the impact on mental health and quality of life.
The mission of this initiative is to ensure that the challenges faced by patients living with PNH are not overlooked. The group aims to develop policy recommendations collaboratively and drive change both at global and national level.
Partnering4PNH is a global multistakeholder policy initiative which brings together PNH experts with a range of perspectives. Its members are representatives of patient associations, clinicians, nurses and industry from different European countries such as UK, Spain, Ukraine but also from Canada and Australia. Partnering4PNH has two political Co-Chairs, who are the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) István Ujhelyi (Hungary, Socialist and Democrats) and Stelios Kympouropoulos (Greece, Christian Democrats). The Partnering4PNH initiative is organised and funded by the Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi), whilst the Secretariat is led by Evoke Incisive Health.
