Prohibited Direct Financial Support to Health Care Providers
Effective January 1, 2018, the MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice, AdvaMed, and APACMed prohibit medical device companies (MDCs) from providing direct financial sponsorship for registration, housing, travel, and meals to health care professionals (HCPs) to attend medical education conferences or training programs such as TCT Plus Africa 2027.
Permissible Financial Support to Organizations
MDCs can give restricted educational grants to certain organizations to provide financial support to non-U.S.-based HCPs to attend TCT Plus Africa 2027 and similar medical education events.
- Health care organizations: MDCs are permitted to provide educational grants to hospitals. A hospital administrator is responsible for allocating grants to eligible HCPs. Check with your cath lab director or hospital administrator for more information.
- National societies: MDCs are permitted to provide educational grants to national societies. Each society will be responsible for allocating grants to eligible HCPs. We encourage you to check with your society for more information.
