The role of academia in promoting medicine quality in LMICs

This webinar will explore how academic and research institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) can play a pivotal role in ensuring medicine quality through education, research, and policy engagement. Academic institutions are not only responsible for training the next generation of pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists but also serve as centres for quality assurance research, regulatory support, and public health advocacy. The session will highlight strategies for integrating medicine quality into pharmacy curricula, fostering research on substandard and falsified medicines, and strengthening collaborations with regulatory bodies and industry stakeholder.
