In 2011, it invested an estimated € 27,500 million in R&D in Europe. It directly employed 660,000 people and generated three to four times more employment indirectly (upstream and downstream).The key contribution of the research-based pharmaceutical industry to medical progress is to turn fundamental research intoinnovative treatments that are widely available and accessible to patients, with the goal of helping people live longer and be healthier. High blood pressure and cardiovascular disease can be controlled with anti-hypertensive medicines and cholesterol-lowering medicines, knee or hip replacements prevent patients from immobility, and some cancers can be controlled or even cured thanks to newer targeted medicines. Yet there remain huge challenges in many disease areas such as Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis, many cancers and orphan diseases.EFPIA also includes two specialised groups focusing on vaccines and biotechnology respectively: Vaccines Europe (EV) produce approximately 80% of vaccines used worldwide. European Biopharmaceutical Enterprises (EBE) harness biotechnology to develop approximately one-fifth of new medicines."@en }
