Among other topics, we will discuss the absorption of NSRF (National Strategic Reference Framework) programs funds, the procurements procedures, the new European regulations on Medical Technology consumables and the importance of business ethics in everyday practice. In order to promote social dialogue, patients associations will also participate actively in the conference, so that all interested sides are offered the opportunity to improve their communication and collaboration channels.
