Conference Theme For Next Delhi IPC: “Regulation For Better Healthcare”

The next Indian Pharmaceutical Congress (IPC), scheduled to be held in Delhi from December 12 to 14 under the aegis of Indian Pharmacy Graduate Association (IPGA), will have ‘Pharma Vision 2020: Regulations for better healthcare’ as the central theme.

“Everything is going on smoothly as far as preparations are concerned. We have finalised sub-committees for all aspects and official travel partner and media partner were also approved by the committee. Now the central council meeting of the IPCA by the end of this month will finalise the details on the scientific sessions,’’ said Nasa, who is also the president of the IPGA. Logo of the event has also been released and the organisers are expecting minimum 5000 delegates this time, he added.

The LoC is headed by DCGI Dr Surinder Singh as its chairman while former DCGI M Venkateshwarulu had been named the IPC president earlier. Different sub-committees were also meeting as and when needed and preparations were going on in full swing, the organising secretary added.

The previous IPC at Varanasi, hosted by the Department of Pharmaceuticals of the Banaras Hindu University and attended by over 5000 delegates, had ‘Pharma Vision 2020: product, patient, practice’ as the central theme.
