WEBINAR Tuesday, 22 November 2022 (12:00- 13:00 CET)
Provider competition is a feature of several European health systems but policy makers are split on whether it improves health care quality and efficiency, and some systems are moving towards integrated care. Competition in secondary and primary care is multifaceted, relating to patient choice, involvement of private providers, hospital mergers, and selective contracting, for example.

the subject to find out!
