Access to Medicines workshop

The bigger Access to Medicines picture - life beyond TRIPS, 19 - 20 April 2007

Co-hosted by Gareth Thomas (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State) and Richard Horton (Editor of The Lancet)

Gareth Thomas and Richard Horton are jointly hosting this two day workshop to promote constructive dialogue on the current challenges in Access to Medicines (ATM). The objective of the workshop is to explore - with the key access to medicines stakeholders: industry, civil society, academic and donor experts - the question: "are we doing everything possible to promote access to medicines?".  Over the two days we want to generate debate about the policy work, actions and support DFID and others should pursue in relation to ATM over the next ten years.
