Our partner, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA) together with the Global Health Initiative (GHI), a student-led initiative at the Graduate Institute Geneva, will organize a workshop on 6th December 2019 as a key event during this year’s Fight the Fakes Week!

The workshop will have two different components: First, a Lunch & Learn Session at IFPMA’s office (Campus Biotech, Geneva, Switzerland) where IFPMA will present key facts and figures and the global health impact of the issues of falsified medicines. This session will be open to a small group of students who are leading the GHI. Following this, a series of external presentations, discussions and a networking event will take place at the Graduate Institute. 

If you are in Geneva and would like to take part in the discussions and networking event at the Graduate Institute, please register via d.rana@ifpma.org!
