#WeWontRest

A public awareness campaign is being implemented with the central message #WeWontRest in order to inform the public about treatments which are currently being developed by pharmaceutical companies.

This initiative, which is an adapted version of a similar pan-European campaign by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), responds directly to the public’s expressed need for information on the current state of research into the discovery of new treatments.
See here the EFPIA campaign.
