417 registered Hospital and healthcare managers, health practitioners from public and private sector, IT professionals, government officials and many listeners participated to a highly active and engaging experience between the conference speakers and the audience. The focus was on moving from “talk” to action in a strategy that triggers the “distinction” in efforts for improvement of healthcare services.

The robust agenda has provided to attendees 60 inspiring presentations, including 7 University Professors’ pioneering lectures, 2 debates of experts in hospital administration and in new public management, 1 workshop and 2 interventions by the EAHM Executive Committee members; of Mr. R. Gilgen who presented the legal form’s transition experience of Switzerland’s public hospitals and of Mr. F.
