Now more than ever, companies need to follow, understand, and effectively engage with these issues to meet demands of the marketplace and consumers. Working together with Edelman’s Global Health Sector, EGA’s Global Health Policy and Public Affairs team will offer advisory services to help clients anticipate global regulatory and policy risk, strengthen ties with regulators and governments, and navigate opportunities in new markets.”  The EGA Global Health Policy and Public Affairs offering is based out of Washington, D.C., with locations in the United States, European Union, Asia PacificLatin AmericaMiddle East/Africa and India.
