Guest speakers include Dr Marc Suhrcke, World Health Organization, co-author of “The Contribution of Health to the Economy in the European Union” (European Commission, 2005) and Wim Oostrom, PricewaterhouseCoopers, authors of “HealthCast 2020: Creating a Sustainable Future” (2005). A panel of distinguished experts will discuss the economic challenges of rapid technological change, growing patient expectations and ageing populations; and explore new avenues beyond the traditional cost containment reflex. The audience will essentially comprise medical technology industry business leaders and opinion formers from Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan.
“Vision 2020: Apocalyptic or Velvet Revolution in Health Policy Thinking?” is one of the events taking place in the margins of the Eucomed Annual General Meeting. Registration is indispensable. Participants are also invited to attend a reception and typical Italian dinner on the evening of 12 October (limited number of seats available), as well as a presentation by Italian Senator and former Minister for Innovation and Technology, Lucio Stanca, on the morning of 13 October.
