GIRP will be organising its Autumn Meeting starting with a reception on the topic of “Full-service healthcare distributors: shaping the future of healthcare”, on Wednesday 16 November 2022 from 18:00 to 20:00 CET at the Renaissance Hotel in Brussels.

The reception will focus on the imminent revision of the EU General Pharmaceutical Legislation which will aim to ensure safe, fair, and continuous access to medicines for all patients.

Full-service healthcare distributors, having pharmaceutical full-line wholesaling at the heart of their activities, are the invisible, yet vital link in the healthcare supply chain assuming the timely delivery of all medicines, medical devices, and other healthcare products to patients. They are in a unique position to ensure that all health products (incl. vaccines) are distributed safely and fairly across national territories, as full-service healthcare distributors worked relentlessly to deliver not only medicines but also over 1/3 of all COVID-19 vaccines dispensed to communities across the EU.

Since 2016, the GEA Supply Chain Conference brings together healthcare and pharma supply chain experts from Europe and across the globe to share insights in the latest state-of-the-art supply chain and last mile technologies, explore new options for value creation in the healthcare ecosystem and provide a platform for exchange amongst top level colleagues and peers.

The 8th edition will take place in Madrid, Spain, from 16th to 17th March 2023. More information will soon be available.

More information will follow soon.
