Here's Their Verdicts.
“In my job as a procurement professional at a hospital we used the Schuman Hospital2Hospital network to increase our buying power. We bought branded medical devices through the network and received regular pricing information. This helped us to negotiate better prices with the appointed representatives in our area.”
Kasper van Pinxteren
“Part of my job is to create buying power for our hospital. We bought medical devices in multiple occasions through the Schuman network. Medical devices from the biggest players in the industry. This has been very effective in creating leverage in our negotiations. Manufacturers involved have adjusted their prices thanks to our connection with the hospital2hospital network and access to lower prices in other EU member states.”
