This workshop is of the highest importance and will
benefit all participants.
This interactive Workshop on National Medical Stockpiles is held
in conjunction with CBMTS-Industry III in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The
WORKSHOP discussions include:
I. How can nations work with private
pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop new vaccines and
next-generation treatments? The purpose of this session is to
stimulate group discussion on issues facing manufacturers
including liability issues, financial constraints, research and
development, collaboration with governmental agencies,
partnerships in private industry, long and short term commitments
necessary to produce vaccines and new drugs in general.
NOTE: Each session (I., II., III., etc) is followed by a 10
minute presentation by pharmaceutical corporations on related
topics.
II. General overview of applied medical practice
in a terrorist event: CBMTS has a physician present on the use of
combined therapies in response to the inhalation anthrax
infections in the US in 2001. The purpose of this brief
presentation is to underline the role of clinical medicine and
the need for stockpiles anywhere in the world to be able to
purchase new drugs as their use is found to be effective. The
audience explores issues surrounding emergency use of
pharmaceuticals & other countermeasures in a terrorism event.
NOTE: Presentation #2 by a pharmaceutical industry
representative.
III. Regulatory Issues: How do individual
country regulations affect the ability of countries to stockpile
drugs, vaccines and medical equipment? The purpose of this
session is to open discussions on how food and drug/medical
regulations in each country affect the stockpiling of medicines.
NOTE: Presentation #3 by pharmaceutical industry representative.
IV. CDC's National Pharmaceutical Stockpile
Program shares a planning guide for use by individual or
partnering nations who wish to stockpile pharmaceuticals,
vaccines, medical supplies and equipment. Hard-copy and CD-ROMs
of the guide will be provided at the workshop.
Tentative plans call for a continuation of the
Workshop on Sunday 7 September to answer follow-on questions and
concerns of the participants at the Workshop. Additionally, we
plan to showcase our Industry sponsors during this Sunday
Session.
