Tackling Global Health Issues Through Law and Policy

American Journal of Law and Medicine Annual Symposium

Feb. 2, 2008

Our upcoming symposium deals with obstacles to creating medicines for the developing world.  The American Journal of Law and Medicine will publish the papers presented at this working conference in a special issue (Vol. 34: Nos. 2 & 3, forthcoming in June of 2008).  This symposium brings together a broad spectrum of scholars and key stakeholders from the legal, medical, and economic fields to address what is today one of the most pressing issues confronting the world.  A wide range of topics will be discussed, including: how the law can be used to combat diseases in developing nations (including the AIDS epidemic), the role of international organizations in promoting public health, and legal and policy issues for the global pharmaceutical industry.  This symposium will educate our readers about various aspects of this critical problem, and will promote the importance of global health consciousness across professions.
