Click here Monday, 21 June 2021 MEDIA ADVISORY Subject: World local production forum – Enhancing access to medicines and other health technologies When: Monday 21 – Friday 25 June The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of the global pharmaceutical supply system. With knowhow, data and technologies in the hands of a few, the world has not been able to deliver effective health tools to everyone in need. But the problem of access to vaccines, medicines and other health tools is much older than COVID. It is present in all areas of health, and will persist for decades to come, unless we take decisive action now. The local production forum aims to kickstart a movement to strengthen pharmaceutical production capacity where it exists, and to build it where it is lacking, to ensure that all regions have a manufacturing base for health products. It comes one month after the World Health Assembly passed a resolution on strengthening local production, endorsed by more than 100 countries. The Forum will bring together ministers, experts, representatives from UN and international organizations and from the pharmaceutical industry Media are welcome to follow the Forum by registering here: https://who.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_o7k42uYGTzWqHNVtKqop7g See agenda: https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/agenda-first-wlpf More information: https://www.who.int/initiatives/world-local-production-forum Media contacts: You are receiving this NO-REPLY email because you are included on a WHO mail list.
