The conference brought together over 400 people, including a large diversity of representatives of health care and research institutions from developed and developing countries, key figures from the pharmaceutical industry, drug regulators, other experts on drug development, and MSF field volunteers and staff. The conference was preceded by a two-day expert workshop attended by over 170 people from over 30 countries.
