There’s no doubt that the pharmaceutical industry has always functioned as a cornerstone in massively contributing towards global health. It plays a monumental role in the conceptualization, manufacturing, and distribution of all manner of medicines that are vital to optimize and prolong human life. In addition, the pharma industry’s impact on global health is multipronged, stretching from highly sophisticated medical innovation and drug discovery to the creation and provision of lifesaving medications to diverse populations throughout the world.
One of the most important contributions of this stellar industry includes the sheer dedication and relentless motivation to continually achieve scientific advancements in both novel and lifesaving therapies.Through decades of research and development, the pharma industry has consistently broken down the complexities of different types of chronic, acute, and terminal diseases, leading to the development of cutting-edge drugs and therapies that help save lives or at the very least, prolong them.
The Role Of Small Companies In Shaping Global Healthcare
There should be no doubt that small businesses function as the backbone of pretty much every economy in the world, predominantly contributing to a variety of important factors such as creating jobs, introducing innovative technologies, and economic stability.As per research posted by the National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights, SMEs (small and medium enterprises) account for up to 80% of all companies on the global level, employing more than 60%-70% of the global workforce.
They are heralds of job creation, positively impacting the health of the populations, providing not just financial wellness but also providing communities with the level of accessibility to healthcare services they rightly deserve. In all, small businesses, in a lot of cases,are directly proportional to a good quality of life.
The Rise of Virtual Events in Global Health
The healthcare industry is currently experiencing a pretty innovative digital transformation. According to research, it is speculated that the online health market in the US will experience a growth of up to 26% in 2023 and 2024.This stable rate of advancement can be associated with the continual rise in smartphone and mobile device usage by physicians and doctors in the country. This also includes the consistent use of remote monitoring devices as part of the country’s mobile health
infrastructure.
Connectivity in the global health ecosystem represents an avant-garde transformative force, maintaining a unique yet resilient balance between managing patient care services, accommodating the needs of the stakeholders, use of technologies, and incorporating continual data analytics.The importance of transformative connectivity transcends the need for technological ease, resulting in a more advanced form of patient care and therapies, optimizing processes, and accelerating medical
innovation.
The Emergence Of Virtual Events As A Powerful Tool For Global Collaboration
We live in a world where the limits of physical space are effortlessly eclipsed by the digital realm. There’s no question that the prevalence of virtual events is an epitome of transformative digital excellence, helping foster worldwide collaboration in a matter of seconds and at the touch of a button. Beyond the advantage of organizing digital events, seminars, and meetings, virtual events have expeditiously evolved into cutting-edge tools, helping healthcare professionals, key opinion leaders, pharmaceutical stakeholders, leaders, and other professionals to seamlessly connect, synchronizing minds and ideas throughout the world, eliminating barriers, reimagining the ecosystem of collaboration.
Developed with intuitive, easy-to-use, and immersive features,virtual platforms have become a go-to solution where individuals from various backgrounds and destinations can share insights, work on discovering groundbreaking medical therapies, engage in meaningful ideation, and engage in collaborative projects. The typical geographical barriers have now become obsolete, eliminating logistical obstacles, and enabling individuals to participate in a level playing field where subject matter expertise, experience, and innovation are in the driving seat rather than the physical location.
The Significance Of Small Companies In Organizing Large-Scale Virtual Events
Small companies play an instrumental role (which is usually underestimated) in hosting large-scale virtual events, providing a slew of unique advantages to all concerned participants, and adding more depth to the reality of digital gatherings. Their constant participation brings a diverse mix of flexibility combined with innovation,and personalization,which in itself play an important role in continuously optimizing the experience of the individuals involved in the digital gathering.
Moreover, small companies are, at times, characterized by their agile yet sophisticated approach. When organizing a mass virtual event, these companies bring forth a flurry of complex yet creative ideas and solutions. In contrast, this can be a bit more difficult for larger, more prominent business establishments as they may be unable to adapt to such agility in the time it takes their small counterparts. This flexibility and the window for adaption allow smaller companies to integrate emerging technologies, and important strategies for global engagement, and use inventive virtual environments.

MphaR’s Green Initiative
After the world reeled back from the devastating blow of the Covid-19 outbreak, MphaR quickly noticed this massive change towards using greener and more sustainable alternatives, especially when it comes to the modern workplace environment. We saw the emerging need and reciprocation for working from home amidst a variety of industries, including the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
In light of this,we were able to create an innovative yet cutting-edge virtual platform, which we’re quite proud to say is being used by a plethora of pharmaceutical companies worldwide. We launched a green initiative to fight global emissions caused by air travel. We calculated that, on average, advisory boards and pharma company leaders and executives who had to travel to attend conferences and seminars worldwide caused global emissions of up to 454 tons of C02 each year.
Our virtual platform for scientific events was launched as a solution to curb this massive carbon footprint and succeeded in doing so. Today, hundreds of companies and thought leaders use our platform to conduct or schedule online seminars and meetings no matter where they are. We have helped reduce the need for unnecessary air travel and have emerged as a responsible and sustainable Medical Affairs company.
