CONTEXT

There are key moments in the history of any systems, which, at a certain moment, have the potential to generate quality shifts.  Can 2018 become that moment for the Romanian healthcare system? Are we able to figure out a crisis exit strategy?
We are wittnesing the maturity of the XXIst century. The very definitions of healthcare and healthcare system are changing.
Point Public Affairs kindly invites you to be part of the ThinkHealth debate. Together with our guests we will be looking for ideas, inspiration and innovative solution which might determine positive changes in the Romanian healthcare system, within a trust based paradigm.

We are going to discuss about regulations, visions, innovation, perceptions and hopes and any other aspects which might give access to a more sustainable future of the Romanian healthcare system.

  E-NNOVATION IS HEALTHY

 

KEYNOTE SPEAKER – Ain Aaviksoo – Deputy Secretary General for Digital Services and Innovation, Estonia

Financing medical care proved to be unsustainable everywhere in the world. People are becoming more and more informed and demanding while health systems keep looking outdated. The future is here and … at hand.

Estonia, the digital centre of Europe, held the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2017. In 2019, Romania is rapidly approaching to take over the same function, so that digital support for innovation in the medical field and the promotion of eHealth services are a must-have when it comes to developing significant impact on the health budget and the promotion of a patient-centred health system.

* about the location: Part of an industrial architecture complex from 1898, the building initially known as Vama Antrepozite (the Commodities Exchange) once represented the main international trade spot in Romania. Build by the Italian architect Giuglio Magni and the Romanian engineer Anghel Saligny, the building is spectacularly transformed in 2006, when Re-Act Now architecture studio reconverted it, after the charred ruin laid abandoned for 16 years, into a modern space dedicated to creative industries and events.
