About ISIUM discussion papers

Part of ISIUM’s way of stimulating debate and interest in better use of medicines is to invite people to submit discussion papers on any topic relevant to medicines in society and the problems faced by people, and the professionals, institutions and governments that protect and serve their interests.

We urge readers to respond with ideas, experiences, and analysis of research data especially that crosses disciplines and methods or with descriptions of problems that fall outside of the scope of solutions and approaches proposed in the papers.

We seek a dialogue that will penetrate into the field to push it further and closer to relevance to many peoples’ everyday lives.

Feel free to agree or disagree with the proposals in the papers with well thought out reasons.

ISIUM retains the ownership of the invited papers in the interest of stimulating wider interest and action towards better use of medicines in ways that are relevant to the needs and situations of many diverse groups of people around the world.
