Review 2021

"Coping with COVID - Combating the catastrophe and dealing with the disruption"

The 9th DiMiMED Conference was held in Duesseldorf, Germany, on 15th and 16th November 2021. It was a ‘physical’ event, as opposed to last year’s entirely virtual event. As ever, DiMiMed was held in association with MEDICA, the Medical Industry Trade Fair, which this year was also a ‘physical’ event.
