“America’s pharmaceutical research companies are currently developing 581 medicines to treat diseases that disproportionately affect Hispanic Americans, according to a new report released today by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

“America’s pharmaceutical research companies are actively working to find treatments and cures for the more than 42.7 million Hispanic Americans, the largest minority group in the United States,” said PhRMA President & CEO Billy Tauzin. “Studies show Hispanic Americans have an increased risk for certain conditions and often lack access to healthcare.
