E-DRUG: Indian Repository on Trade and Public Health
----------------------------------------------------
Centre for Trade and Development (Centad; www.centad.org) is an independent, not-for-profit organization that carries out policy research and advocacy on issues around trade and development, with a focus on South Asia. Enclosed is brief profile of Centad for your reference.
As part of our work on trade and public health, in the past Centad has worked on issues like IPRs and access to medicines, data exclusivity and consumer drug information. Centad is currently working on building up a repository on Trade & Health publications.
This work is part of WHO's ongoing project of creating a virtual library on Trade and Health related articles related to India. This virtual library would be helpful for researchers, academicians, policy makers and others in their research work.
In this regard, we are looking for the books, thesis, articles and presentations on Trade & Health (in Indian context) from published and unpublished sources on the following topics:
1. Intellectual Property
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
3. Drug Pricing
4. Pharma policy
5. Regulatory Framework
6. Access to Medicines
7. Health services
8. Sanitary and Phytosanitory Standards (SPS) & Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) agreements
9. Food standards
We would like to request you to kindly share with us copy of the publications of your organization on the above mentioned topics. The details of those publications along with the copy of the same or abstract (in case of any copyright issue), would be added to this WHO's virtual library.
We would be grateful if you can kindly send us the same latest by 15 September 2007.
Kindly acknowledge the receipt of this mail. Should in case you need any further clarification, please contact us at centad@centad.org.
Looking forward to your valued cooperation,
