SUMMARY:Addressing distribution-related shortages of medicines and medica
 l devices from a multi-jurisdictional perspective
DESCRIPTION:Shortages of medicines and medical devices are caused not onl
 y by manufacturing challenges\, but also by distribution unavailability\
 , due to issues at distribution chain level. This session will examine t
 he phenomena within the distribution chain that can lead to shortages of
  medicine and medical devices\, such as parallel trade. The session will
  also explore different approaches to deal with such shortages by severa
 l jurisdictions\, including the imposition of regulated prices\, blackli
 st\, export controls/restrictions\, government mandated distribution and
  challenging product registration rules.
