The francophone technical seminar on pharmaceutical issues, organized by EPN in October 2010, was held in Douala, Cameroon and tackled topics such as the WHO pharmaceutical strategy, the WHO prequalification programme, Good governance in the pharmaceutical sector and rational use of medicines. The seminar had speakers from WHO headquarters and AFRO and Cameroon offices. EPN members ASSOMESCA, BCMU, ONG Bethesda, Bon Berger Hospital, BUFMAR, CBC, CBCA, CEPCA, OCASC, OSEELC, PCC and UNAD sent participants to the seminar. For the secretariat, the possibility to work with the WHO Regional office for Africa (AFRO) and the WHO Headquarters in Geneva was exciting and motivating.

The seminar was followed by a 3-day workshop on advocacy. Click here to read more.
