PtD Global Indaba

Programme to be released in the new year

This month the PtD Global Indaba abstract submission window slammed firmly shut. The Global Indaba steering committee is now crafting a programme that will allow HR solutions that really can transform health supply chains to take centre stage.

Keep an eye out for the agenda, which will be released in the new year, and if you haven’t already, register, book your accommodation and plan ahead by checking and fulfilling visa requirements to ensure you can join is in Bangkok.

We hope you'll join us in Thailand! It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in a wealth of knowledge, forge meaningful connections and contribute to the transformation of global health supply chains. We invite you to be a part of this transformative experience! Come for the week; engage, learn and return with the insights and tools that can have a lasting impact on health supply chains in your region.
