| GREETINGS |

|
|
The
WSMI 14th General Assembly (GA) and 5th Asia Pacific Regional
Conference (APRC), the very first in the 21st century, which
it is a great honour for PAJ to host, are just around the corner.
Everywhere throughout the world, both developed and developing,
self-medication has been and will be playing an important role
in helping the governments build a responsible healthcare framework
within which they establish and structure national drug policies
to best serve and promote public health. |
As this announcement speaks louder than my greetings, GA and
APRC seek to provide a grand conference venue for major stakeholders
to discuss the oppor-tunities and challenges of self-medication
from various angles - regionally, nationally, and globally.
The Social Programme in addition to the Business Programme will
entice you (not just your fancy), naturally producing an atmosphere
where you would feel like meeting and shaking hands with all
the participants.
I do look forward to seeing you soon in Tokyo ! |

Pre-Assembly
Workshop
"What is Self-Medication?
Self-Medication around the World"
Pre-Assembly Workshop has been primarily con-ceived to
sensitize Japanese consumers, pharmacy students, and the
mass media to the importance of promoting responsible
self-medication by way of exposing them to the wide spectrum
of self-medi-cation practiced around the world, in particular,
in other developed countries.
The Workshop could also benefit the overseas participants
as it provides an opportunity to make "multicenter" comparative
study on self-medication.

Session
Dietary/Food Supplements-Looking for a global
framework "Neither fish nor fowl?"
Today dietary supplements or food supplements are a mainstream
part in self-care. This worldwide trend reflects the consumer's
increasing demand for more choices, while they practice
responsible self-care. Around the world, these products
are not regulated globally in the same way.
In light of the current situation, the session will try
to identify principles of a global framework, which serves
best the consumer and which may be most appropriate for
dietary/food supplements.

Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPs)- Identifying new roles
in the new millennium
"What can they do?"
The 4th Session is the 5th Asia Pacific Regional Conference
and therefore its focus is on the Asia Pacific Region.
The use of traditional medicines has been rapidly increasing
in both developed and developing countries and is playing
an important role in self-care.
The objective of this session is to propose establish-ment
of strategies for further expansion of HMPs firmly rooted
in historical and cultural traditions in each country or
region.
Presentations will begin with the EU perspective and then
go on to share the experiences with, and prospects for,
HMPs in Asia.
