IAPO's newsletter Srpanj 2019.
Dear Dražen,
Welcome to the July issue of our newsletter. This month, we look back at the recently updated Essential Medicines List 2019, reviewing what this means for our advocacy efforts. We also share highlights from events we attended and recent resources that you will find useful. In the last article, we invite you to share some feedback and ideas on the WHO medication safety app to ensure that it continues meeting your needs.
Do take a look, and feel free to share!
IAPO CEO reviews the Essential Medicines List 2019
IAPO CEO Kawaldip Sehmi was recently featured on the Global Health Matters blog as well as Health Policy Watch where he gives a review of the recently published Essential Medicines List Selection profiling the patient voice.
Why the WHO’s Essential Medicines List 2019 matters to patient advocates
On 9th July 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the updated Essential Medicines List (EML) 2019.This is a guidance document that helps countries prioritise health products based on evidence and health impact. In this article, we review how and why the EML matters to patient advocates.
Calling for global medicines regulatory coherence
On 10 July, IAPO was proud to contribute to the high-level meeting on Mutual Recognition Agreements and Reliance in the Regulation of Medicines at both national and regional level at the Gates Foundation in London.
Leading the patient group stakeholder unit, IAPO CEO, Kawaldip Sehmi highlighted the need to improve global regulation coherence as this would guarantee patients having early access to quality and safe products as manufacturers would only be required to submit their medicine’s dossier for inspection to one agency with a recognised regulatory framework.
Save the date: World Patient safety day
On 17th September, in partnership with the World Health Organization, we are marking the 1st World Patient Safety Day to raise public awareness, understanding and engagement globally of the need to work towards global solidarity and action by all to promote patient safety.
Patient safety is the absence of preventable harm to a patient during the process of healthcare and risk reduction of unnecessary harm associated with healthcare to an acceptable minimum.
Mark the 17th September 2019 in your calendar and join this movement as we call for patient safety!
