Registration opens for 6th WHO-WIPO-WTO Trilateral Cooperation Technical Webinar
Objectives of the webinar
Public procurement policies and mechanisms represent a strategic lever for driving innovation and enhance access to health products. By aligning procurement approaches with health and industrial priorities, governments can reduce costs, foster technology transfer, and promote partnerships. They can also stimulate domestic research and development (R&D) and strengthen supply chain resilience and manufacturing capacity.
Effective public procurement procedures depend on access to high-quality and up-to-date information on health product markets, and a clear understanding of the needs and the ability of suppliers to deliver quality products at affordable prices. A diverse range of approaches have been taken by public sector procurers to meet these goals.
This technical webinar will provide an opportunity to different stakeholders to share recent experiences and evidence on public procurement of health products. The speakers will be invited to exchange perspectives and discuss best practices in leveraging public procurement to incentivize innovation and enhance access to health products.
