From evidence to policy implementation: HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Taiwan
Join this year's lecture where Professor Nai-Ying Monica Ko will delve into the critical intersection of evidence-based research and practical policy implementation regarding HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Taiwan. Our distinguished speaker will share stories regarding the policy initiation, negotiation with third parties (including Taiwan CDC, pharmaceutical company, communities, and potential PrEP users) through the program implementation, writing guidelines, differentiated and simplified service delivery approaches. Prof Ko will discuss how PrEP has been integrated into national guidelines and highlight successful strategies to enhance uptake, persistence, and effective use.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session.
