As well as communicating with EU policymakers on economic, regulatory and technical issues related to healthcare, COCIR works with various organisations to promote standards and regulatory control across the world.

Munir Ismet, Oracle EMEA vice president for government, education and health, said: “Oracle is delighted to join COCIR to further share its experience and understanding of the healthcare IT market.
