From 28 May – 1 June, Task Force Health Care (TFHC), in cooperation with the Netherlands Embassies in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, the Holland Innovation Network in Sweden and the Regional Economic Envoy for the Nordic and Baltic countries on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organises a healthcare roadshow to Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. This visit is a follow-up of the healthcare studies which were launched last year.
