Welcome to our monthly newsletter. This past month has been very busy here at AmCham. With more than 70 participants, together with the Ministry of Health we co-hosted a conference on investments in health where high-level officials, experts, patients, and industry leaders explored sustainable healthcare funding models, data-enabled budget planning and its impact on health outcomes.
