Our keynote speaker was the health economist and consultant Dr. József Bodrogi, who spoke about “GDP, Healthcare, Financing and Such Ugly Issues.” That was followed by a roundtable discussion that discussed topics such as the funding for hospitals, the future of hospital pharmacies, whether this is a good business environment for generic pharma manufacturers, the strategic medicines list, and how stakeholders can work together to improve the environment.
Our expert panelists were Dr. Judit Bidló (Deputy State Secretary for the Professional Management of Health at the Ministry of the Interior), Selen Zeydanli Bisson (Central Europe cluster head and managing director for Merk Group), Wolfgang Wallisch (CEO of Phoenix Group in Hungary), and Karolina Demus (country head for Sandoz Hungary). Robin Marshall MBE, editor-in-chief of the Budapest Business Journal, moderated the discussion.
