Despite Covid-19 – because of Covid-19: The Hospital Procurement Congress will take place as an online event, BKK-digital 2020, on 2 and 3 December 2020

Procurement and logistics in healthcare have never been such a focus for policymakers and society as they are now. The coronavirus pandemic has caused demand for medical products and equipment to skyrocket, whilst at the same time, disruptions among suppliers have led to significant shortages. Hospitals, doctors, procurement service providers and logistics specialists must adapt to entirely new situations.

What have we learnt so far from the COVID-19 crisis – and what lies ahead? What strategy do policymakers have in place to continue safeguarding healthcare provision? Will digitalisation make procurement more resilient to crises in the future?

Experts from Germany, Austria and Switzerland will discuss these issues at the BKK-digital 2020 online conference. We are planning – as with the in-person conference – for 500 to 600 participants at the online conference.
