3rd World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCoP)

The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, CP+ Associates GmbH and Fundisa African Academy of Medicines Development, and after consultations with other African Regulators, convened a regulators expert meeting at the upcoming World Conference on Pharmacometrics (WCOP) that was held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2022.
