Questioning current stakes of pharmaceuticals in Africa

We wish to discuss the multiple stakes surrounding pharmaceuticals in Africa today, with particular consideration of their markets, the political and economic actors which they mobilize, related instruments of regulation, control and competition, modes of health care in which they are placed, and finally their modes of consumption by individuals, without losing sight of the adaptation of "traditional medicines" to the evolution of economic models. Regulation, with its broad sense of norms actually at play, legislative, biomedical, technical and commercial, seems to transverse these various questions and will thus be widely considered. We anticipate proposals based on current research for presentation on the seven themes outlined below. Submissions can come from the various social sciences (anthropology, sociology, law, history, economy, geography, political sciences), as well as from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Although Africa is central to this discourse, presentations of studies from other continents will be considered with the aim of drawing links with Africa and enriching the discourse with current situations in African countries.

North/South encounter of automedication and its determinants

Les 5, 6 et 7 mars 2015, l'université d'Abomey Calavi (UAC) accueille les rencontres Nord / Sud de l’automédication et de ses déterminants. Deux programmes de recherche interdisciplinaires sont à l'initiative de ces rencontres : Globalmed qui se déroule au Bénin et au Ghana et Automed qui porte sur la France. Entourés de larges appuis scientifiques en France et au Bénin. Ces rencontres ont trois objectifs : présenter l'avancée des différentes recherches portant sur l'auto-soin dans le monde ; identifier les nouveaux axes de recherche autour de l'auto-soin : usages, déterminants, transmission des savoirs, circuits de distribution des produits, etc. ; favoriser les échanges scientifiques Nord / Sud dans le domaine de la santé et de l'auto-soin, tout en favorisant l'interdisciplinarité de ces échanges.
