CBS attends New Zealand's free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates
CBS – Health Costing Experts CEO, Ross Wilson, was in attendance.
New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McClay announced New Zealand’s free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates with his UAE counterpart Minister of State for Foreign Trade, Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, at Parliament in Wellington on September 26.
The connection between CBS and the two Ministers is our patient costing system CostPro, which is used in each of their local hospitals. Mr Todd McClay comes from Rotorua – the first hospital in New Zealand to adopt the system over 20 years ago. Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi comes from Abu Dhabi where SEHA have been using CostPro since 2019 across their 14 large hospitals to measure cost and identify improvements to health services.
