Weston Stacey reported on the discussion on company vaccination policy with major employers. Companies disagree about whether government-mandated vaccination would assist the return to office work.

Martin Koníř and Jana Břeská emphasized that EU funds represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve health care through investments into digitization. To achieve the optimal outcome, both proposed that measurable objectives related to prevention, treatment, system efficiency, and innovation be established for digitization projects. AmCham proposed to organize roundtables to discuss how digitization can best achieve gains in those four areas, and will follow up with ministry officials responsible for digitization projects.
