ABDA-Talk: Federal Health Minister Spahn Discusses Pandemic Lessons
The German Pharmacists Association (ABDA) hosted a discussion featuring Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn and ABDA President Friedemann Schmidt, reflecting on experiences gained during the coronavirus pandemic.
The German Pharmacists Association (ABDA) held a discussion on December 4, 2020, focusing on the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic for the supply of medicines.
In the event, titled "Lass uns reden! – Der ABDA-Talk" (Let's talk! – The ABDA Talk), Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn and ABDA President Friedemann Schmidt discussed the lessons learned from the pandemic. The conversation was moderated by Gregor Waschinski from Handelsblatt.
The discussion also included input from ABDA Vice President Mathias Arnold on "Four theses on medicine supply during the pandemic." The session was streamed live on YouTube and Facebook.
The original event was scheduled for November 25 but had to be postponed due to a conference of state premiers. A previous "ABDA-Talk" on September 6, 2020, addressed the German "Law on the security of medicine supply" (VOASG).
