E-DRUG: Winter meeting 8+9 Jan 2020: call for abstracts
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear E-Druggers,
The WHO Collaborating Centre for Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation in collaboration with the Department of Essential Medicines and Health Products, WHO will organise a Winter Meeting on 8 + 9 January 2020 for researchers in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis and regulatory science. As in previous years, we have chosen for an inspiring combination of a central theme and key note lectures on the first day of the meeting, and giving opportunity to (young) researchers to discuss their work with peers on the second day.
You are cordially invited to attend this meeting!
Contents of the meeting
The first day of the meeting will focus on burden of disease in relation to pharmaceutical policy, health decision-making and planning, risk factors as central theme. In the last decade the world has experienced many shifts in their burden of disease, e.g. more chronic conditions, outbreaks, etc.. This shift in burden of disease has important implications for the organization of health systems and medicines supply and use. Policy makers are expected to align their pharmaceutical policies to the prevailing population health needs to ensure the sustainable access to medicines. All this makes burden of disease a powerful, cross-cutting learning device for pharmaceutical policy and regulation.
On the second day of the meeting, submitted abstracts will be presented and discussed in the morning and afternoon (oral and poster presentations). Abstracts are not limited to the central theme of the second day; all research in the field of pharmaceutical policy analysis or regulatory science is eligible for submission. The focus of the sessions will be on methods used or proposed.
