It is no secret that Pharma (still) has a major diversity problem.

“Socioeconomic and racial disparities in healthcare are widely acknowledged.

In combination with other factors, it could also serve to improve the company’s overall image. Engaging advisors from different cultural/ethnic backgrounds, geographical regions, specialties, or levels of seniority allows consideration of new perspectives. Products are more likely to be used by minority populations if the marketing messages are tailored to them or if there is support available that matches their specific needs.
