The Nordic region is rethinking healthcare, cementing its standing as the gold standard. It's more digital. More connected. Closer to the patient.

Thor Medical is a pivotal player in the story that's being written. They're world leaders in using alpha emitters for cancer therapy. 

In other words, their innovation stands at the forefront of a world in which healthcare systems are under greater pressure than ever.

The traits that see them leading from the front are uniquely Nordic, and joining us this week to share how that shapes business in the region is Thor Medical's CEO, Jasper Kurth.
