'Together for Health' forum highlights patient-centric health care

THE Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PHAP), in partnership with MSD in the Philippines and AC Health, hosted a media enablement session titled 'Together for Health,' which seeks to help deepen journalists' appreciation of relevant health care issues and the importance of making health topics more accessible to the broader public.

The event gathered renowned scientific experts, health leaders and decision-makers, and patient groups to provide insights and share their perspectives through an interactive panel discussion.
