Important news about the future of health came out of the 2nd Athens Medical Leadership and Innovation Conference 2018, organised by Athens Medical Group. From 23 to 25 November more than 2.500 doctors, medical students, patient association representatives, insurance company representatives, from Greece, Russia, the Balkans, N. Africa, the Middle East, Cyprus and the former Soviet Republics, as well as many people interested in keeping abreast of modern trends in health, had the opportunity to listen to more than 250 speeches. A 75 member scientific committee had the responsibility for this multidisciplinary conference (General Clinic, Paediatrics, Nursing, Medical Tourism) in which more than 300 leading scientists from the Group participated, alongside their counterparts from Greece and abroad.

At the same time and in the context of a conference that has become an institution, more issues related to Medical Tourism and the position of Greece in an increasingly, globalised health service market were presented. In addition to these key scientific and strategic matters concerning the overall future of Greece, this international conference has dealt with Brain Gain in the health sector, as well as the Group’s very important legacy to the specific sector, as the path has now been paved for leading doctors, Greek scientists to return to Greece, who amongst other things apply new, innovative interventional techniques. Moreover, another important conference session was that on patient advocacy, which over recent years has become a matter of great importance and necessity.
