Register
The Malta Chamber together with EY Malta will be organising the third event in its Industry Focus Series, this time dedicated to the Health Sector.

The conference will include two panel discussions; the first panel will tackle matters of the workforce whilst, the second panel will tackle supply chain and logistical challenges.

The Health Sector is quite a volatile industry, as it deals with both macro and micro disruptions that elevate the number of challenges economic operators functioning within the industry face. As the industry is quite diverse, not all challenges are the same. Economic operators that make up the industry include: (i) the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Manufactures (ii) the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Importers and Distributors, (iii) Care Home Operators, (iv) Hospital Operators and (v) Health and Beauty Clinics. This event will facilitate the discussion to pinpoint the specific challenges of the economic operators. 

Attendance is free of charge for all those who register.
