In Italy there is a high level of concentration. The Italian procurement system moved from Hospital Procurement to centralized procurement in a couple of years. Today healthcare public procurement is performed by 21 regional and one national procurement body.
In pre-Coronavirus times, Dieter’s vision for Health Proc Europe was that procurement in hospitals should become as important as in the rest of the industry.
I see the association built and shaped for procurers by procurers. Health Proc Europe represents the growing procurement ecosystem with the focus on European healthcare procurers to empower them and strengthen their role. This is all about getting procurers on to the stage and giving them a voice.
