In the first half of 2017 Polish Pharmacoeconomic Society intensified cooperation with its sections. In March, a meeting of members of the Management Board with representatives of the different sections took place. A decision was made to involve Polish Pharmacoeconomic Society in legal consultations and to initiate a dialogue with HTA Agency (AOTMiT) in order to develop good HTA practices in Poland and to consult possible doubts that may arise around the process of preparing the HTA reports.
As a result of the meeting with the students’ representatives, the Pharmacoeconomic Society became the caring institution of ISPOR Poland Student Chapter and Professor Marcin Czech became the tutor.
Since the second quarter of 2017, the Management Board members have started working on the content and logistics of the 15th International Pharmacoeconomic Conference, whose main subject will be "Drug pricing in Europe - fair, uniform or both?". The Conference is planned for December 2017 in Warsaw.
Since August 2017, the Pharmacoeconomic Society President-Elect Professor Marcin Czech assumed the duties of Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Health.
