What is the PMEA programme?

PMEA rewards responsible customer-centric business practices that ensure treatments and advice provide patients with meaningful outcomes.

It reflects the dynamic healthcare environment and the industry’s development of new, intelligent ways to improve patient care and outcomes and provide greater value for healthcare providers and payers.

Each year the categories and programme are scrutinised to ensure that PMEA continues to be specifically designed to recognise and commend excellence, best practice and innovation in European, international and local markets. For 2020, the judging criteria and categories have once again been refined.
