E/MTIC HAS A HUGE SUPPORT AMONG PROFESSIONALS
In June this year Piet Batenburg, Chairman of the Executive Board of Catharina Hospital, will retire. Batenburg is one of the founders of e/MTIC, the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center, a strategic collaboration between three hospitals, Philips and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He imagined his last months of working at the hospital somewhat different, but his focus is now on fighting the coronavirus COVID-19. "Of course it is unfortunate for me, but currently almost the entire organization is working to get the virus under control.” In this interview, safely via a video call, Batenburg looks back on the origins of e/MTIC and how this initiative will continue without him.
