It was a very productive meeting in which Livia Edegger presented on ISSUP Global and the role of National Chapters and Paulo Martelli shared ISSUP Brazil's plans for 2020. ISSUP Brazil also presented the Technical Cooperation Agreement between the National Secretariat for Drug Care and Prevention and ISSUP Brazil. The agreement serves as an example for a fruitful collaboration between an ISSUP National Chapter and the government.
