Introduction
Access to medicines in many countries, especially for the poor and underprivileged, remains less than optimal. FIP is committed to identify barriers limiting adequate supply and availability of essential medicines for patients and jointly work with governments and local professional organization to strive for improved access to safe and effective medicines for their populations. This session aims to raise awareness among the pharmaceutical sciences community how fragile medicine supply chains across the globe can be. In addition, experts will debate the impact of pharmaceutical development on the environment and how this may factor into the social responsibility of enhancing access to medicines.
