“This is the industry’s premier Latin American gathering for addressing compliance issues,” said Christopher L. White, AdvaMed senior executive vice president, general counsel. “The conference will bring together top executives, regulators, compliance professionals, legal counsel, distributor reps and industry observers to proactively discuss and share compliance best practices as well as major compliance challenges facing companies today in Latin America and elsewhere.”
Key topics to be addressed at the conference include: industry’s commitment to implement Brazil’s Clean Companies anti-bribery law; increasing cross-border harmonization of industry codes of ethics; and advancement of policies to ensure transparent regulatory environments, economic development and growth.
“It is imperative that health care marketplaces are built on a foundation of transparency and ethical business practices,” said Ralph Ives, AdvaMed executive vice president, global strategy and analysis. “Without this foundation, the medical technology industry will face barriers around the globe to our industry’s competitiveness and to ensuring patient access to life changing innovations. That’s why this Latin America Compliance Conference is so important,” Ives said.
