The USAID Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project is there sharing research and promoting dialogue on important topics. 

GHSC-PSM will host a panel discussion on the transition to a new antiretroviral therapy and implications for supply chains at the International AIDS Conference in Amsterdam. “Critical Steps Along the Way: Preparing for the TLD Transition” will feature experts from GHSC-PSM and World Health Organization’s Marco Vitoria, who will discuss new WHO guidance for transitioning patients to tenoflovir/lamivudine/dolutegravir (TLD). 

The panel is scheduled for 7 a.m. - 8:30 a.m., July 27, in G102-103 at the RAI Convention Center.
