5th MedTech Conference
One of the biggest challenges that the new government has to tackle is the re-structuring of the system of compensation and management of medical technology products. However, there are reasonable and serious questions, such as:
- Does the Hellenic Healthcare System have the necessary funds for the proper utilization of this medical equipment?
- What are the new government’s priorities regarding the technological modernization of public hospitals?
- How many hires need to be made and what other measures are required to enable the efficient utilization of the new equipment?
The Med Tech Conference 2019 will seek answers to the above questions. This year’s event will take place on 24 October at the Divani Caravel hotel and is organized by Ethos Events in collaboration with www.virus.com.gr portal on healthcare and pharmaceuticals policies, Pharma & Health Business magazine and the economic and business portal banks.com.gr.
