Geneva, November 13, 2023 – In the week ahead, IGBA will renew its commitment to raise awareness of the powerful and lifechanging impact of biosimilar medicines which contribute to delivering better health outcomes and biologics access equity for more patients. The fourth Global Biosimilars Week (GBW) will run from 13th to 17th November, 2023 on social media, supported by a rich resource dedicated website globalbiosimilarsweek.org.
On October 27, 2023, the International Generics and Biosimilars Medicines Association (IGBA), including members of IGBA’s CEO Advisory Committee, met with World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva.
