09:00 PANEL: Realizing How To Supply Specialty Products In A Cost Effective Way Given Healthcare Budgets Won’t Balloon Anytime Soon

With a large number of blockbuster drugs’ patents expiring in recent years, pharma companies are seeing a significant increase in complexity and risk in their supply chains.
