SUMMARY:Roundtable: Regional Approaches to Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Sponsors: United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP); Centre on Knowledge Governance\, Geneva Graduate Institute; Texas A&M University School of Law \nThe COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant inequalities between and within countries in providing access to healthcare\, including access to quality\, safe\, efficacious and affordable essential medical products. Existing weaknesses and deficiencies in health systems within countries\, in terms of financing\, human resources and technologies\, were also accentuated through the pandemic. The experiences across countries highlighted the need to diversify production capacity for essential medical products and to facilitate their access\, including through securing essential technologies for manufacturing and utilizing appropriate policy mechanisms. \nThis event will feature a presentation of research on intellectual property and technology transfer policies for access to medicines\, diagnostics and vaccines commissioned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)\, followed by a roundtable of responses by invited experts in the field. The discussion will focus on engaging with appropriate legal tools that can address and/or alleviate the barriers to achieving health equity objectives at a regional level. Issues including improving innovation and transfer of technology\, and creating appropriate legal policy tools and other enablers to achieving healthcare related goals will form the crux of the discussion. \nRegister to Attend \nKey discussion areas: Intellectual property; International Treaties; Regional legal policy initiatives; Public health governance; Growing role of regional engagement on emerging issues such as innovation technology and the role of international economic law at the regional level. \nIn-person attendance will be limited to invited experts.
