The diverse European healthcare environment requires a specific approach to communications. The European market provides multiple challenges to the pharmaceutical industry, emerging biotechnology and medical technology firms who develop, launch, and commercialise drugs and devices. Deep and varied local and international insights, experience, capabilities and footprints are required for impactful healthcare communications in Europe because of the high diversity in local regulations, health systems, market dynamics, key stakeholders' perceptions, as well as cultural nuances and languages.
