This week AmCham members had a unique chance to go behind the scenes of TV and radio stations of TV3, and meet Rihards Snikus, Latvian Paralympic equestrian who won 2 gold medals in the Paralympic Games in Paris earlier this year. We experienced a truly inspiring evening full of positive emotions.

On November 19, AmCham held an informative workshop promoting value-based procurement (VBP) in healthcare. The workshop featured lectures and best practices from university clinical hospitals as well as regional hospitals on implementing procurement strategies that use value-based criteria, not just price. This was the third consecutive year for AmCham actively promoting VBP and continuing the dialogue with stakeholders. 

AmCham members convened to discuss Empower Her initiative aimed at encouraging women’s economic empowerment. The group will focus on contributing to a more equitable and equal society by sharing best practices by female as well as male business representatives.

On November 14, the Healthcare work group convened to discuss its ongoing activities. The Value-based procurement sub-group leadership reported on the upcoming workshop. The group continues to work on digital health, secondary data legislation, and sustainable healthcare financing.

On November 13 members gathered for Meet AmCham, an annual member orientation event to get the latest updates about AmCham's priorities and build valuable connections.
