APPIS SUMMIT 2023
APPIS Summit 2023 took place on 20-21 March 2023 and gathered over 1,400 registrations across the healthcare ecosystem from over 60 countries who came together with the common goal of accelerating access for patients and prioritizing action towards better health outcomes in Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.
During the Summit, we took a deep dive into the challenges faced by patients and caregivers, the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships, and the scale of impact we can have on patient lives when we join forces. This year's Summit agenda continues to address the region's critical challenges and opportunities in:
Health Literacy
Health Policy Shaping
Digital Health and Communications

Beyond the virtual summit, there were several APPlSx events happening in countries from across the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. APPlSx is where patient organizations and local healthcare stakeholders convene to discuss, partner and act on important healthcare and patient access topics in their country throughout the year. APPlSx events took place in Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and India with Egypt, Gulf, Saudi Arabia and UAE coming together as one Middle East cluster to identify challenges and opportunities to partner together. APPlSx will also reach the shores of South Africa, the Philippines and Australia before the end of 2023!
