EFA

EFA board member Lina Buzermaniene has been granted patient fellowship of the Drug Information Association (DIA), and attended the DIA EuroMeeting in Geneva from the 28th to 30th of March. DIA is a non-profit professional association of nearly 18,000 members who work in the discovery, development, and life cycle management of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and related products. The meeting gathered regulatory agencies, industry representatives, academics, health ministries, and patients. It offered patient organisations the opportunity to network with other stakeholders and gain a broader view of regulatory and global drug developments. Patient representatives spoke at different sessions, and a special welcome reception hosted by the DIA management and global and European presidents was organised for them. Patients also had their own meeting sessions during which they had the opportunity to express their views and offer feedback and ideas for improving next year's programme. The next DIA EuroMeeting will be held from the 26th to the 28th of March 2012 in Copenhagen. Photo Information on fellowship programme and articles by patient reps YouTube Video
