On June 8, 2015
the Office of Health and Information Technology will participate in the APEC Industry Forum on Addressing Barriers to
Trade in Health Care Products: Helping SMEs Participate in Global Value Chains
in Atlanta, Georgia. OHIT will deliver a presentation and chair a panel
on barriers to trade in healthcare products that make it costly or prohibitive
for SMEs to enter or participate in global health value chains. OHIT will
give examples of some of the hurdles that most affect SMEs and will direct an
exchange of views on how these barriers disproportionally impact SME participation
in value chains. The goal will be to further SME participation in
increasing the efficiency of global value chains and supply chains for health
care products, and how APEC can promote the integration of SMEs.

 The healthcare sector has three political and administrative levels: the government, the regions and the municipalities (national, regional and local authorities). The regions are responsible for providing hospital care, taking on tasks such as owning and operating hospitals and prenatal care centers. They allocate finances for GPs, specialists, physical therapists, dentists, and pharmacies. The municipalities are mainly concerned with preventive care, rehabilitation, and long-term elderly care.
As of 2014, Denmark’s health sector has 53 public hospital-premises and 23,190 physicians. Over the next decade, approximately 7.1 billion USD will be invested in 16 new (or renovated) modern hospitals, eight of which will be super hospitals. As of 2014, all hospitals had received final approval.
