Public Procurement as a Powerful Mechanism to Address Health Challenges
Public procurement policies and mechanisms represent a strategic lever to drive innovation and improve access to health products. By aligning procurement strategies with health and industrial priorities, governments can reduce costs, encourage technology transfer, and promote partnerships. Public procurement can also stimulate domestic research and development (R&D), and strengthen supply chain resilience and manufacturing capacity.
Effective public procurement depends on access to high-quality, up-to-date information on health product markets, alongside a clear understanding of needs and suppliers' ability to deliver quality products at affordable prices. Public sector procurers have adopted a diverse range of approaches to achieve these goals.
This technical webinar will offer an opportunity for various stakeholders to share recent experiences and evidence related to the public procurement of health products. Speakers will be invited to exchange perspectives and discuss best practices in leveraging procurement to incentivize innovation and improve access to health products.
