Description

The pandemic continues to reshape how we operate – economically and socially. We are confronted with challenges and accelerators that call on medtech companies to adapt by reframing risks, healing the supply chain and forming new value propositions. Medtech winners will be defined by key attributes such as embracing digital models and investing in innovation. Dr Alicia McMaster, Associate Director at PWC Healthcare Consulting will delve into reinventing the future as the pandemic edits the DNA of the health system.

As the world works towards achieving COVID-19 herd immunity and quelling virus variants and their respective waves of infection, more and more mandatory vaccine policies are coming to the fore; with private sector healthcare entities requiring vendor vaccination. Medtech companies are faced with the task of responding to customer mandates and determining whether or not to implement vaccine mandates of their own. Join legal experts as we consider the obligations of mandatory vaccine policies framed within the context of the medtech sector.
