Program Highlights
Panel Discussion and Partner Symposia
Transitioning Healthcare Systems
Evidence to Policy Linkages - Today's Evidence-Tomorrow's Agenda
Access to Advances in Biotheapies: Scientific, Economic and Social Issues
Partner Symposium on Oct. 24th, 14.00-15.30
The transition of healthcare systems and the multi-partnering approach are intensely debated. The multi-partnering approach offers a possible solution to the challenges faced by healthcare systems across the globe. Low birth rates, combined with longer life expectancy contribute to aging societies that place greater demands on healthcare systems.
Panel Discussion Session on Oct. 26th, 10.15-11.45
In an ideal world, scientific evidences should be routinely used and translated into more effective and equitable political and government action to improve public health. This is especially important for developing countries which have to struggle with limited resources and competing priorities. In reality, however, strengthening the link between evidence and policy is often a difficult challenge and many barriers need to be overcome.
Partner Symposium on
Oct. 26th, 10.15-11.45
This joint DKFZ-Inserm session aims at addressing the question how scientific progress and access to new therapies can be efficiently linked. Unfortunately, the transfer of promising results from the laboratory into innovative therapies, diagnostic tools or preventive measures still takes too long.

Access to Reproductive Health Supplies – Challenges, Barriers and Opportunities in Developing Countries
Partner Symposium on Oct. 23rd, 16.45-18.15
Availability of reproductive health (RH) supplies plays a critical role in achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health services and information, which is fundamental to improving health and effectively fighting poverty. However, in the developing world, the availability and accessibility of RH supplies, such as contraceptives and condoms, as well as tools for safe delivery and medicines for prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS, do not meet current demands. Despite an increased demand for these RH supplies, donor support is declining or stagnating in many countries and many national governments have not prioritized RH in their strategies yet.
