About MedTech Week
Now in its 5th year, MedTech Week is sponsored by MedTech Europe and its affiliate country associations. It’s a week-long awareness campaign celebrating the significant contribution of the medtech industry in saving and transforming lives.
This year the theme is Medical Technology: creating solutions for a healthier tomorrow and during this week, the medical technology industry will discuss with different stakeholders, such as governments, patients, doctors, carers and media about today’s and tomorrow’s challenges to keep people healthy and how medtech can help save and transform lives.
There are more than 500,000 medical technologies currently available and they all share a common purpose: improving, extending and transforming people’s lives. Medical technologies provide value in different ways. They allow people to live longer and better lives, thus empower them to contribute to society for longer. At the same time, medical technologies improve the quality of care, and the efficiency and sustainability of healthcare systems.
