Public Health Innovation and Intellectual Property: A Regional Perspective
On Tuesday September 30th, Pan-American health stakeholders participated in a meeting hosted by the Creative & Innovative Economy Center (CIEC) and the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) to discuss the issues of public health, innovation and intellectual property.
