See the future of healthcare at DHF24, 7 & 8 May at Melbourne’s MCEC: digitalhealthfest.com.au
THE DHF STORY:
Once upon a time, there was a planet called Earth where people strived to be healthy & happy ?♀️
Day by day, outdated healthcare systems and a lack of innovation were putting its people’s well-being at risk.
Passionate healthcare professionals sounded the alarm. They warned of a looming healthcare crisis and the urgent need for change.
And that’s why we created DHF, a meeting place for the ecosystem to break free from the shackles of outdated healthcare practices.
Until finally, a new era of healthcare emerged.
It’s a healthcare party, and you’re invited.
20 free VIP tickets available to the first 20 people to register
