Please join WITA on December 11, as we welcome members of the Ottawa Group to discuss key issues on their WTO agenda, including their proposal for a WTO Trade and Health Initiative to strengthen supply chains and ensure the free flow of medicines and medical supplies, their work on WTO reform, and ongoing negotiations on e-commerce and fisheries.
