In the landscape of new, potentially curative cell and gene therapies, many uncertainties remain including how to pay for them. Value assessment approaches have been looked to as a way to achieve higher-value healthcare and many efforts are aimed at centering the patient perspective.

In this session, experts will discuss the progress that has been made in recent years as well as remaining gaps and challenges that we should urgently work to address.
