The WHO Expert Committee on Selection and Use of Essential Medicines will meet in Geneva, Switzerland in April 2017 to consider applications seeking inclusion, changes to or removal of medicines on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) and Model List of Essential Medicines for Children (EMLc).
Applications may now be submitted for the 2017 revision and update of the Model Lists by the Expert Committee.
