ABOUT APPIS
There are huge disparities and a lack of health equity across the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, leaving many people struggling to access the healthcare they need, when they need it.
The Alliance & Partnerships for Patient Innovation & Solutions (APPIS) platform, organized and funded by Novartis, was established in 2021 to bring patient communities and key stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem together to prioritize action towards addressing barriers to access for patients in the region.
Since its inception, over 2,000 people across more than 60 countries, including 400 patient organizations, policy makers, payers, physicians, academics, and digital innovators, have come together on the APPIS platforms to share ideas and collaborate on patient innovation and solutions.
APPIS’ ongoing commitment to drive action encompasses our programs including the flagship region-wide APPIS Summit, the APPIS Innovator Program and local APPISx initiatives.
Join us and let's come together as a healthcare community to co-create solutions and create impact for patients throughout the region through exploring APPIS' key themes of health literacy, health policy shaping and future readiness.
