Event: Tulipe association, 40 years of health emergencies worldwide

Acute health crises, conflicts, natural disasters… For 40 years, the Tulipe association has been providing emergency and long-term assistance to meet the health needs of populations in distress. A conference will be held on 30 January 2023 from 5pm to 7pm.

Created in 1982 by Leem, Tulipe acts as a humanitarian pharmaceutical distributor authorised by the Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament.

To mark its 40th anniversary, the Tulipe association will hold a conference, broadcast live on LinkedIn, bringing together health specialists, NGO managers and people working in the field, who will talk about what goes on behind the scenes and the challenges of humanitarian operations in Ukraine and Lebanon. The event will also provide an opportunity to discuss the commitment of pharmaceutical companies to Tulipe, as well as the five-year partnership between the Centre de Crise et de soutien and the association. The conference will be moderated by journalist Constance de Bonnaventure.
