Verpora’s Head of Payers, Omar Ali, will be speaking at the 16th International Healthcare, Hospital Management, Nursing & Patient Safety Conference—a global forum bringing together leaders from across healthcare systems to explore how innovation, collaboration, and shared expertise can improve care quality and resilience.
Keynote Session: Can we afford a cure?
Paying for innovation with new cancer medicines
As medical innovation accelerates, pricing models must evolve to keep life-saving therapies accessible. In this keynote, Omar explores how governments and healthcare systems are adopting innovative contracting and value-based agreements—where payment is linked to patient outcomes.
Drawing on real-world examples from over 30 global markets, he shares how these models are being used to manage rising drug costs while ensuring patients can access new treatments—including multi-million-dollar cell and gene therapies. The session will be particularly relevant for hospital leaders, procurement teams, and health policymakers navigating the complex balance between cost, value, and access.
