Workshop on Pharmaceutical Bulk Purchase for Small Pacific Island States

WHO provided technical and financial support for a ‘Small Pacific Island States Workshop on Collaboration with Fiji in Pharmaceutical Bulk Purchase’, held in Nadi, Fiji, in April 2001. Aimed at improving access to and availability of essential drugs in Pacific Island countries, the workshop was organized by the Government of Fiji and attended by participants representing Fiji and the Small Island States (including Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, the Marshall Islands, Tokelau, Tuvalu and Vanuatu).
