The GSK Chair in Healthcare Management at UPF-BSM aims to generate systematic knowledge about health economics and transfer it to the stakeholder groups involved in decision-making.

Among the planned activities, a discussion forum among experts on the purchase and financing model of medicines, called "North Forum (New Territorial and Economic Opportunities and Challenges) in healthcare management," will be organized. Additionally, a working document will be prepared summarizing the discussion, reflections, and topics addressed at the forum to contribute to the transfer of knowledge on the subjects discussed.

Objectives

Analyze new opportunities for improvement in healthcare management within the National Health System (SNS).
Reflect on international reference experiences with various stakeholder groups.
