Michele Uda

Graduated in Political Sciences at International University “LUISS” of Rome, specialized in International Economics, I hold an MBA in International Business and Economics at Mib School of Management of Trieste. From march 2007 I joined Assogenerici, the Italian Generics Medicines Association, as “Pharmaceutical Economics & Policy Affairs Manager”, assuming direct responsibility of the Centre for Economics and Policy Analysis of the association. Starting from March 2012 I have been appointed Director General of Assogenerici.

In an era when increasing demands are being made on Europe’s health services, generic medicines provide a major benefit to society as they ensure patient access to quality, safe and effective medicines while reducing the cost of pharmaceutical care.
