EPN Forum is a biennial event that brings together EPN members, local and international partners, partners, and stakeholders. It provides an opportunity where EPN members meet physically, learn, share and exchange experiences, knowledge and best practices on emerging issues in pharmaceutical health services within faith-based health facilities across. They discuss, develop ideas and make critical decisions in relation to the activities of the Network with experts, friends and partners.
The Forum is also an amazing opportunity for the EPN members to fellowship, be inspired and network. Each Forum unpacks a pharmaceutical delivery topic with the aim of equipping members with current and expert information.
While the EPN Forum is the main event, it is usually flanked by one pre-event and concludes with EPN Annual General Meeting. Since its inception in 2016, there have been 9 editions with the latest one being in 2024.
