The 4 Pillars of Access to Medicine

Local insight. Global impact.

Access to medicine across the MENA region is CCHO’s guiding mission. Four principles shape how we work: Clarity, Credibility, Connection and Collaboration.

Clarity

Insight into MENA health systems, payer requirements and patient needs.

CCHO brings clarity to research in the region. Our team understands market access challenges, payer expectations and patient needs, and guides partners through the MENA healthcare landscape to meet the demands of proprietary drug development and commercialization.

Credibility

Robust methods, and a clear understanding of who decides.

Credibility is the cornerstone of our work. Our experts apply rigorous methods and a deep understanding of MENA stakeholders (clinicians, payers, patients and policymakers) to deliver accurate, transparent and impactful research. Our team has contributed to more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and congress presentations.

Connection

A broad stakeholder network across the Middle East and North Africa.

Our network includes payers, regulators, policymakers, health systems, universities, international organizations such as ISPOR, and patient advocacy groups. It gives our research culturally informed insight and shortens study timelines, across projects in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Jordan and Iraq.

Collaboration

A research partnership approach that builds lasting relationships.

Today’s healthcare challenges can’t be solved alone. CCHO’s science-based Research Partnership Methodology builds sustainable relationships with authorities, institutions and partners, while respecting cultural, individual and business boundaries.
