  3. Private healthcare, a booming sector, which is here to stay.
  4. Reforms from the government or from the sector?
  5. Overcoming the consequences of the crisis: addressing the obsolescence of equipment, a problem not only of money.
  6. Is there a lack of doctors in Spain?
  7. High-cost innovative therapies, how to introduce them with the sustainability of the system in mind?
  8. Primary Care, is it really assumed that it is the axis of the National Health System?
  9. The “new entrants” in healthcare, a threat or an opportunity for traditional players?
  10. How to overcome the barriers to change projects?
