What is this track?
Meet the case of Charlie
Charlie is an eight-year-old patient suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and has undergone multiple treatments, none of which have been effective.
With limited treatment options remaining, Charlie’s estimated 10-year survival rate is only 32%. Fortunately, a groundbreaking therapy recently approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) offers the potential to cure Charlie.
The availability of this life-saving treatment depends on Charlie’s place of residence in Europe.
The European Union (EU) aims for universality, solidarity, access to quality healthcare, and equity for all its citizens. This means that no one should be denied access to quality care, and services should be available based on patients’ needs.
Do you wonder if:
- These EU values are upheld in Charlie’s case?
- It is fair that Charlie might not receive treatment?
- There is someone to blame if Charlie is not treated?
- It is relevant that the price of this new treatment exceeds 320,000 Euros for one child, which, by the way, could help 64 adult patients walk again after hip replacement?
