Alert: Too much -xit will be mentioned in this episode of the Podcast. We apologize if some confusion happens.

Monir El Azzouzi and Erik Vollebregt will help you understand the situation in the United Kingdom with Brexit, talk a bit of the Switzerland situation or Swixit and then finish with the situation in Turkey called Turkxit.

Brexit: Since February 1st, 2020 Brexit is live. So what are the consequences for the medical device manufacturers? What should they do now?

Swixit: We discussed during the last episode about Swixit with Ronald Boumans. Erik did talk about it to compare its situation to Brexit or other countries.

Turkxit: Turkey does have the same situation as Switzerland now. But the process seems less transparent. If some people can give us some feedback it would be great.

We hope that there will be no other XIT that will happen as we are stronger together.
