“Patients in their own words,” features patients sharing their health journeys, the challenges they face and their hopes for the future. Many of the participants are from ZS’s Patients as People Co-Lab, a panel of patients that work with ZS across multiple initiatives and issues. Other patient participants were identified through ZS’s work in rare diseases.
Being patient-led starts with listening. These inspirational stories can serve as guideposts for pharma, and healthcare in general, as they strive to become patient centric.
