Creative France, campaign empowered by Business France highlights the healthcare industry
Business France brings the Creative France campaign to Arab Health to highlight France’s legacy in the medical field. France has been a pioneer in healthcare since 19th century, when Laënnec invented the stethoscope, Robiquet and Gerhardt formulated codeine and aspirin, respectively, and Pasteur founded microbiology. This tradition continues today at some of the world’s top research centers, including Institut Pasteur, the Vision Institute and the National Institute of Sleep.
Pharmaceutical giants such as Sanofi, Bayer AG and AbbVie have also chosen to make the country their home. The campaign highlights major innovations that continue to emerge from France, including the artificial heart, the Lyoc drug manufacturing method and NeuroSpin molecular imaging technology for brain research.
French ambassador to the UAE, Michel Miraillet, visited the French Pavilion to welcome the Creative France campaign and highlight France’s role in the industry.
BD, a leading global medical technology company, unveiled a state-of-the-art pharmacy solution for preparing intravenous (IV) medication
90 percent of hospital patients receive an IV medication during their stay.1 However, a manual IV preparation process is prone to errors, with an average error rate of 9 percent for chemotherapy, injectables and infusions that provide patients with nutrition. In addition, 7 percent to 15 percent of oncology budgets are spent on infusions that are prepared but never get used3 resulting in unnecessary waste and expense.
The new BD CatoTM Medication Solution provides a simplified way for hospitals to manage IV medication to help improve safety and reduce waste. The integrated software and hardware solution enables safe and accurate IV prescribing and compounding through improved communication and coordination between physicians and pharmacists.
