In this episode of Make Medicines Affordable, host Tracy Swan speaks with Ukrainian IP and access-to-medicines advocate Anastasia Homeniuk of 100% Life. Anastasia shares how attending her first global IP summit inspired her to join the fight for affordable, life-saving medicines.

She opens up about doing advocacy work during wartime, the emotional power of global activist solidarity, and why rage, unity, and hope keep her going. Anastasia also breaks down the complex intersection of EU integration, patent reform, and the urgent need to protect access to medicines in Ukraine’s fragile healthcare landscape.

This is an inspiring, deeply human conversation about activism, perseverance, and why IP reform is ultimately a fight for life.
