A CONVERSATION WITH...RUTH DREIFUSS, HIGH-LEVEL PANEL ON ACCESS TO MEDICINES

Monday, 28 November 2016 | 14:30 - 15:30
Maison de la paix, the Graduate Institute, Geneva
In spite of noteworthy medical progress in the last decades, innovation and access to health technologies remain multi-dimensional and global challenges. The High-Level Panel on Innovation and Access to Health Technologies was established by the United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to redress the policy incoherencies between human rights, trade, intellectual property and public health. The Panel's report calls, among others, for a binding R&D Convention, the full use of TRIPS flexibilities, greater transparency, and a UN General Assembly Special Session no later than 2018.

The Global Health Centre (GHC) has invited Ruth Dreifuss, Co-Chair of the Panel, for a dialogue session to discuss strategies and accountability frameworks to accelerate progress on innovation and access to health technologies in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The event will be moderated by Professor Michel Kazatchkine, Senior Fellow with the GHC and UN Secretary General Special Envoy on HIV/AIDS in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
