This morning, the World Health Organization Intergovernmental Working Group on Public Health, Innovation and Intellectual Property (IGWG) resumed its negotiations in Geneva. UAEM is represented by Ethan Guillen, Executive Director, and Sara Crager, a UAEM member and MD/PhD from Yale University. Throughout the week we will be posting regarding the goings on.

The IGWG is working on a Global Strategy and Plan of Action to tackle issues of R&D for neglected diseases and access to medicines. This includes consideration of novel mechanisms to promote R&D for neglected diseases and those that can delink the costs of R&D from the final product price.

Check back for updates.
