In the lead-up to our conference this week, I will be highlighting one or two panels a day. Here’s our panel on “#Vaccines, #intellectualproperty, and #GlobalEquity.”

Topics include:

·      The role of #IP in vaccine rollout to developing countries.

·      TRIPs and its contribution to global equity.
