About PLA
From Projects to Products
What we do
PLA provides governance, compliance and operational oversight of the platforms and products within our ecosystem in order to enhance, scale, and ensure sustainability.
The PharmaLedger Association (PLA) provides healthcare-related organizations the ability to come together in a trusted network to develop digital healthcare solutions. PLA’s solutions are built not to replace but to connect, by putting patients first and creating added value for all ecosystem members.
WHO WE ARE
We are a global not-for-profit association legally formed in March 2022 in Basel, Switzerland as the sustainability strategy of the PharmaLedger Project.
PLA is a pre-competition umbrella organization dedicated to the development and deployment of trusted solutions for the healthcare ecosystem. PLA is the neutral venue where all healthcare players can collaborate, pool resources, and share risks associated with the development of Healthcare 4.0 solutions.
PLA members represent the classes of Patron, Standard, Patient Organizations, and Public Partners (NGO/NFPs). In March 2023 PLA’s 20 founding members approved a 3-year strategic plan to deploy solutions in the areas of Product Trust, Decentralized Trials, and Supply Chain Traceability.
PLA operates a lean organization under the leadership of Executive Director Daniel Fritz and the strategic oversight of the elected Board of Directors representing all member classes.
Vision
PLA exists to connect, protect, empower, build and sustain Healthcare 4.0 by enabling a Digital Trust Ecosystem in Healthcare (DTE-H) to solve problems that can’t be solved by single organizations.
Mission
We aim to provide a global governance, compliance and operating model that enables innovation and inspires collaboration among healthcare stakeholders.
PURPOSE
To enable a Healthcare 4.0 experience that is digitally trusted, privacy preserving, patient-centric, and industry-inclusive.
