On 22 August 2017, the Royal Decree of 31 July 2017 was published in the Belgian Official Journal. This Royal Decree confirms the recognition of the non-profit-making association Mdeon to perform the transparency tasks that were entrusted to the FAMHP. Mdeon is now officially authorized to manage the transparency platform betransparent.be as described in the Sunshine Act, and is thus responsible for the management of the annual disclosures of premiums and benefits that were granted from pharmaceutical and medical devices companies directly or indirectly to healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations or patient associations.
Mdeon’s recognition has been granted for an indefinite period.
