Join our interactive discussion and share your perspective with our expert panel:
Prof. dr. Hans Hogerzeil, Professor of Global Health and the Right to Health, former Director of Essential Medicines and Pharmaceutical Policy at WHO
Ms. Ellen ‘t Hoen, Medicines Law & Policy consultant and founder of the Medicines Patent Pool
