Atlantic Healthcare plc (“Atlantic Healthcare” or “Company”) is pleased to have been invited to present at the forthcoming Lingmed Chinese forum ‘Innovation for digestive diseases treatment? China market and Global market deep dive, are you ready?’

Each month this forum focusses on a specific therapy area with a guest speaker from Europe invited to present.
