Private Health Forum 2018

What are the ongoing processes in the developed Western European private health market, and what can we expect in the CEE region? Demand for private health providers in Hungary is growing, while the market is increasingly consolidated. Meanwhile, the lack of qualified workers affects all providers, not just state-run institutions. To what degree does this mess up the calculations of owners? What will the latest government plans mean for private providers? And how are public health institutions affected? Has the state-run system become less overburdened?

Policy issues and questions all in one place. What can domestic healthcare leaders learn from the examples of other countries as far as the transformation of the healthcare system is concerned? What options are available? And why is healthcare important in terms of competitiveness? Meanwhile, we hear more and more about the overhauling of the financing system as well, so we will examine the options Hungary has in this regard, and take a look at what role insurance packages play at present or could play in the future.

This section aims to present a segment of Hungarian healthcare with which probably very few people are familiar, even though its results compare favourably at the international level. Innovative therapies, revolutionary research, high-tech medical procedures.

Digitalisation, big data, telemedicine - Global and domestic overview and future possibilities. How does digitalisation disrupt healthcare, and how well is Hungary prepared for this?

What drives ideas and investments in private healthcare? The shortcomings of the public system? The opportunity for quick returns? The social benefits of these projects? In what areas are disruptive medtech businesses breaking with industry traditions? How does a startup founder experience success?
