ESF–IfW Conferences on The Global Health Economy "The international Regulation of New Medical Technology: Health Technology Adoption in the European Union, North America, East Asia, and in the Developing World"

The issues addressed in this conference thus lie at both the national and the international level, with a particular focus on the interaction between these two levels. At the national level, the question is how the regulation of medical technology can be improved to serve a country’s policy objectives. At the international level, the question is what sort of regulation will facilitate the further integration of national markets for medical technology.
