SMi Reports: Key questions addressed at 11th annual industry summit next month

• What are the implications of parallel trade for low-price countries and when must governments intervene?
• Which categories of pharmaceutical products offer highest margins for traders?
• How can the industry overcome common obstacles presented by intellectual property, competition, medicines sold online and regulation?
• How can traders collaborate to improve supply chain safety?

Some of those presenting will include:
