WHAT IS APPIS?

The Alliance and Partnerships for Patient Innovation and Solutions (APPIS) initiative 2021 focused on partnering with the patient community to address the evolving capability needs of patient organizations across the Asia Pacific region and beyond. This initiative was championed by a Steering Committee comprising of representatives from prominent patient organizations and Novartis.

The APPIS initiative addressed common challenges faced by patient organizations and enabled deep-dive discussions around local needs so that the patient community could be more impactful.
