Day One – 28 November, 2012

International Medical Device Payer & HTA Forum

Policy challenges to contain costs and maximise health outcomes

Global healthcare systems are evolving daily. At a time of increased health economic reform, ageing populations and budget austerity, leaders in medical technology look to achieve optimal market access and commercialization of their products. As payers worldwide demand more value for money, the importance of achieving patient access by demonstrating cost effectiveness and enhanced health outcomes is of the utmost importance.

With payers in both developed and developing countries under extreme budgetary pressure, we will provide a platform for attendees to examine how health technologies are assessed, tough decisions are made and how we define "value". This exclusive forum is the opportunity to meet and network with a broad spectrum of senior representatives who wish to encourage innovation whilst managing a limited budget.
