    * ADRs, medication errors and hospital infections
    * Malaria, MDR TB, HIV/AIDS, diabetes
    * The latest in cancer treatment

There will be reports on the latest developments in pharmacy practice and training and examination of regional threats and priorities.

You will be able to take part in discussions about the vital contribution pharmacists can make to prevent and manage crises, reducing risks for patients and communities and improving individual and public health.

Apart from a full Conference programme there will be time for you to;

    * meet people in local hospitals or pharmacies as part of the health outreach session, or
    * see the local pharmaceutical industry at first hand, or
    * explore Accra’s lively retail and market scene and vibrant night life or
    * experience the proverbial Ghanaian hospitality by traveling around this peaceful, magical country renowned variously for its sandy beaches, tropical rainforests and Savannah grassland

A series of social and cultural events will introduce you to the rich and colourful culture of Ghana – its people, its food, its music and its generous hospitality including a Gala Dinner at the Banquet Hall of Ghana’s State House to be followed by a Beach Party the following day at one of Ghana’s many golden beaches
