In their own words

“Affordable Medicines Europe represents Europe’s licensed parallel distribution industry, an integral part of the European pharmaceutical market that adds value to society by introducing price competition – especially for patented medicines – and a supplementary layer of product safety. In this our members work every day to make medicines more affordable for European healthcare systems and patients.”
