Description
This virtual seminar, presented by Dr. Nav Persaud asks, “Can transparency and accountability improve national essential medicines lists?”
About this Event
Essential medicines lists in more than 100 countries prioritize access to some treatments. But some withdrawn or banned medicines are included in national essential medicines lists.
