Treatment outcomes at the heart of the system

23rd November 2021  

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

For the 11th year in a row, Forum of International Research and Development Pharmaceutical Companies, EIG (FarmaForum) is organizing a strategic conference Value of Innovation, where we will seek answers to current questions and offer insight into innovations in the field of pharmacy and healthcare.

​

At this year's conference, we will discuss value-based healthcare. With foreign and domestic experts we will look at how the gap between the need for high-quality treatment on one hand and available resources on the other can be filled. We will look for potential answers within the concept of value-based medical treatment, which puts patient and his health at the center. Achieving high value for patients should become the overarching goal of all healthcare innovation and delivery.
