Starting in 2015, we organize every year in fall a conference focusing on an important and controversial issue in health care and public health. A series of seminars are followed by a roundtable discussion bringing together physicians, researchers, health insurers, patient representatives, economists and journalists. The event taking place at the Università della Svizzera Italiana is open to the public in general and jointly organized by the Fondazione Epatocentro Ticino, the Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC) and the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI).
