Health Policy blog covering advocacy developments and health system initiatives around the world in the areas of:
Over seven years of experience placing patients’ needs and interests at the center of healthcare.
I drive patient-centered health policy change to achieve greater equity in coverage and access; I work with the patient community to better voice their needs and challenges, with health technology assessment (HTA) bodies as the gateway to services and therapies in many countries, and with the pharmaceutical industry to inform research and commercialization plans based on patient priorities.
Services include strategic counsel and project management.

“Veronica is definitely the best consultant I have ever had. Our little team faced projects that implied a big amount of work, sometimes very short delivery times, and high quality was expected in all of our Patient Engagement projects. Veronica was able to deal with all this. Her brilliant and creative mind, able to adapt to the most unexpected scenarios, turned each and every situation into an advantage, for the team, and for our company. Even under the highest pressure, she always keeps her smile and positivism!”
“Fantastic strategic partner with clear understanding of advocacy and community influence. Thoughtful thinker and collaborative partner with exceptional appreciation for achieving a differentiated customer experience. I highly recommend Veronica!”
“It’s hard to find people you can trust and rely on 100%; Veronica is such a person and I’m grateful for her sleepless nights and tireless effort.”
