Digital Health - an exciting opportunity for Medical Affairs

- Implementation of advanced technologies requires teams with the understanding and communication skills to engage healthcare professionals.
- Medical Affairs is well positioned to take a leadership role in these activities, building on their core competencies to evolve the way we work.
