Janssen boss: the time is now

When Janssen boss Biljana Naumovic hits the ripe old age of 100, she hopes to look back with pride knowing that she helped speed up access to innovative medicines for Australians.

A self-confessed 'fearless advocate for change' she is pursuing the goal with urgency, insisting now is the time to overhaul the nation's Health Technology Assessment process.

With the pandemic bringing health into sharp focus, recent recommendations from Zimmerman Parliamentary Inquiry and a freshly signed Strategic Agreement, Naumovic sees a now or never opportunity.
