You are invited to join this session where we will launch the revised Medical Technology Code of Ethical Marketing and Business Practice (the Code). SAMED has invested time and resources behind the scenes to elevate the Code and ensure it is a user-friendly tool to enhance your day-to-day business practices.
The session will also delve into understanding when the Ethical Medtech and Mecomed CVS system is applicable to South African third-party organised events and when not.
Who should attend:
SAMED Captains of Industry, Members, Compliance Officers, and signatories to the Code.
Why should you attend?
- The Code is a mandatory criterion for SAMED membership
- Navigate the Code with ease to ensure its implementation
- There appears to be confusion amongst both industry (SAMED members) and Doctor Societies and Professional Conference Organisers as to when Ethical Medtech and Mecomed CVS is applicable to South African third-party organized events and when not. This session aims to provide clarity and guidance to members when arriving at decisions as to whether they require CVS approval or not.
SAMED is the custodian of the Medical Technology Code which governs interactions between signatories and their customers, namely healthcare providers, and professionals. This self-regulation fosters trust in the medtech industry by creating a framework for ethical activity that protects the reputation of industry stakeholders.
SAMED Members should be aware of revisions, in particular, around third-party educational events and educational grants and support to HCPs, aimed at strengthening and promoting compliance to ethical principles and practices in the conduct of members’ businesses and affairs.
We look forward to your participation and encourage you to share the invitation with fellow stakeholders.
