Dear Maia,

Thank you for your email and the follow-up.

Here are the topics to be discussed during the meeting:

-
Discuss evidence-based prevention services
(primary to prevent use, secondary to prevent dependence, and tertiary to
prevent infectious diseases transmission).

-
Discuss harm reduction services
(needle and syringe exchange, overdose agonists, drug testing).

-
Discuss therapies
(rehabilitation, substitution, maintenance).

-
Discuss access to essential medicines
for pain relief and palliative care.

-
Discuss stigma and discrimination in the
healthcare system.

Please also note that there is a slight change in the composition of our delegation. Unfortunately, His Excellency Kwasniewski has had an unexpected urgent change to his agenda and has had to cancel the visit. He will be replaced by Commissioner Mr. Pavel Bém - the former Mayor of Prague. Therefore, the delegation will be composed of the following attendees:

Commissioner Michel Kazatchkine

Commissioner Pavel Bém

Ms. Anna Iatsenko (Secretariat of the Global Commisison on Drug Policy)

I thank you kindly for your attention and your help in organizing this important meeting.

With best wishes,

Anna Iatsenko
