Excerpt

“The first report of endoscopic ultrasonography [EUS] to my knowledge is that of DiMagno et al.…although images were only obtained in dogs, this work established the feasibility of EUS. …But in 1980 the potential of this hybrid technology was scarcely apparent to anyone probably including these first endosonographers who did not expand on their demonstration of the feasibility of EUS” [1]. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
