Science v. COVID-19: Promising COVID-19 Treatments Explained
February 25, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
COVID-19 treatments exemplify the significance of the public-private sector R&D continuum. While these treatments have not generally received the same level of attention as vaccines, they are critical to our response to the pandemic. This panel discussion will explore the range of treatments available; how, when, and in what settings they are administered; and ways to ensure these treatments reach patients in need.
The value of medical progress hinges on patient access to its benefits; as COVID-19 continues to rob Americans and populations across the globe of health and time, this is the right conversation at the right time.
