IEEPO: A regional approach

IEEPO: A regional approach

We are focusing on six key regional clusters, addressing unique challenges facing healthcare systems and patient communities in those regions to deliver local health impact and global reach.

Our IEEPO Regions

Our workshops will be held in key cities within each regional cluster. From the Americas to Asia, locations include San José, Nairobi, Berlin, Cebu City, Istanbul and San Francisco. These ‘hub’ locations were chosen to facilitate attendance from key advocates across the region, generating impactful discussions around the most critical topics facing patients at the local level, and brainstorming tangible solutions to address regional challenges and opportunities.
