(Report) Second Seminar “Solution for Global Health Issues – Key player in Global Health Research and Development -“
date : 12/5/2013
As public funding is limited, an innovative business model called “Public-Private-Partnership”(PPP) plays an important role in solving global health issues in developing countries. PPP is a government service or private business venture, which is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector companies.
In the first session of the current sequential seminars, the discussion focused on why PPP has drawn great attention especially in the global health field. By introducing examples of PPP by The Global Health Innovative Technology Fund (GHIT Fund,), which aims to solve global health issues, discussion continued on how government and private sector companies can cooperate and maximize such partnership.
In the second session, three professionals from three different institutions were invited as main speakers. The institutions are the Bill and Melinda foundation, which plays a significant role in global health, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), which takes an initiative for development and research for Malaria related pharmaceutical goods and vaccines, and AERAS, which focuses on R&D for tuberculosis. The seminar aims to introduce the current situation of Global Health R&D, PDP, social corporate responsibility of private companies, lessons learnt from overseas examples, and to discuss Japan’s role as a catalyst to hasten development of pharmaceutical goods in developing countries.
*PDP(Product Development Partnership) refers to international partnerships specific to pharmaceutical development for infectious disease, clinical trials and production of necessary materials. There are about 20 PDPs around the world including pharmaceutical development for HIV, malaria, TB, neglected tropical diseases, vaccine, R&D for diagnostic pharmaceutical and clinical trials around the world. MMV and AERAS are the most prominent examples of PDP.
