Third International Conference on Improving Use of Medicines (ICIUM 2011), 10 to 14 April 2011, Alexandria, Egypt
In April 2011, members of the international community will assemble in Alexandria, Egypt for ICIUM 2011: Third International Conference on Improving Use of Medicines. Many colleagues working in the pharmaceutical field will remember the landmark ICIUM1997 and ICIUM2004 conferences which summarized the evolving state-of-the-art policies and interventions to improve use of medicines. ICIUM2011 will be as unique as its two predecessors.
Its focus will remain on presenting and summarizing knowledge about ways to improve medicines use especially for vulnerable populations. Participants will help to shape evidence-based
policy recommendations and a future research agenda on these topics. The
sequence of half-day sessions will be organized around different levels of the health
care system, including: 1) international systems, programs and policies; 2) national
systems, programs and policies; 3) health care and financing institutions; 4) health care
providers; and 5) consumers and patients.
