Healthcare
Our shared vision is longer and healthier lives for our society. Better patient outcomes are the ultimate goal of all involved parties.
Predictable and smart policy improvements, inclusiveness of all involved stakeholders and evidence-based decision making are the pillars for sustainable reforms in healthcare benefiting each member of the society, and ensuring an attractive business environment.
Innovation in health technology – medicines, medical devices, diagnostic technologies, and increasingly, digital health – is transforming the way how healthcare systems are organized.
Healthier population and workforce drive the economic development of the country.
