The World Health Care Congress Europe 2005, co-sponsored by the Financial Times brought together over 350 CEO, CFO and CIO executives from key organizations advancing health care in Europe: providers, payers, suppliers, customers, policy-makers and health officials.
"Practical and relevant. The speakers go straight to the essential and the questions are concrete: what can we do with what we have?"
Mike Leers, CEO, CZ, The Netherlands
"A great forum to share new ways of improving value for money in today's health care delivery system."
Stéphane Pichon, Vice President Sales, GE Healthcare Financial Services, United Kingdom
"The speakers were great. It was excellent."
Jean-Pierre Thierry, Director, Simone Weil Hospital Center, France
"This is a time of accelerating innovation, experimentation, and change in the operational and financial organisation of health care all over the world, and there is a lot we can all learn from each other to deliver the highest quality to the largest population at an affordable cost. Our goal was to attract and discuss these innovations and best practices in Europe." said World Congress director of European conferences Pascal Lardier.
