Dear Ms Tea Jikia,

Attached please find a letter from WHO Headquarters regarding the Annual meeting of Representatives of National Pharmacovigilance Centres participating in the PIDM.

This is the 50^th year of the  WHO PIDM. The Annual meeting of PIDM will therefore be held in Geneva, Switzerland from 5 to 8 November 2018, with commemorative events to celebrate the 50^th Anniversary of the WHO PIDM.

The WHO PIDM secretariat at HQ maintains a database of Pharmacovigilance (PV) Focal Points in each Member State. The secretariat has issued the attached letter, to the designated PV focal point in Georgia(National Centre’s Head), inviting nominations (maximum  5 nominees) from Georgia. The letter notes that nominations are to be forwarded to Leticia Megias Lastra (megiaslastral@who.int), by 18May 2018. HQ will then follow-up with individual invitation letters to the nominated persons.

Participants usually pay their own costs to attend these meetings (travel and accommodation) although, under special circumstances, we could consider supporting the costs for one delegate.

Best regards,
