Istituto Gentili S.r.l. pays GREAT attention to transparency in every aspect of its work. For this reason, the Company is committed to publishing value transfers with healthcare professionals, in order to avoid misunderstandings about the autonomy of the medical professionals and to make everyone understand the importance of collaboration with the medical-scientific community for the development of medicine and collective well-being.
In accordance with the Farmindustria Code of Conduct, the following table reports all transfer of values exchanged directly or indirectly between Healthcare Professionals the Organizations, to be intended as financial contributions such as, for example, accommodation offered to a Healthcare Professional for participation in a congress, or a fee for a professional assignment.
Since the publication of the amounts of value transfers received by individual Professionals constitutes a disclosure of personal data, Istituto Gentili S.r.l. – like all pharmaceutical companies – has, in compliance with privacy regulations, left the Healthcare Operators full freedom to decide whether or not to authorize the publication of their names in connection with the value transfers received.
The table will report the names and surnames of the Healthcare Professionals, as well as the exact amount received, only if the Healthcare Professional has agreed to the publication of this information. In cases where Professionals have refused to give their consent, the data relating to the transfers of value to it are included in the aggregate, i.e. in the sum of the total amount paid.
In reading the table, Istituto Gentili S.r.l invites users to consider that not all the value transfers published (with consent from the Healthcare Professional) together with names and surnames, were factually received by the Healthcare Professional. Very often, the pharmaceutical company will have paid the corresponding amount not to the Healthcare Professional but to a supplier (e.g. a travel agency, to cover the travel costs necessary for the Professional to attend a pharmaceutical conference). Furthermore, we remind users that all data reported on table is the result of a complex cross-examination of data carried out, as instructed by Istituto Gentili S.r.l., on accrual basis, and therefore some of the amounts published in the table may not have been currently transferred to the Healthcare Professional or the Healthcare Organization indicated.
Payments for services (e.g. fees for services, sponsorships, contributions) are reported excluding VAT. Value transfers arising from service charges (e.g. airline tickets, hotel rooms) are reported with VAT included. Advanced withholding tax (where applicable) is included. The amounts indicated are expressed in euro (currency of the country in which the data are disclosed).
The amounts of the transfers of value are disclosed in order to meet the requirements of transparency, and they must not be used as support for tax returns of the recipient, which will be sent the certificates required by current legislation.
Istituto Gentili S.r.l. would like to thank Healthcare Professionals who have chosen to authorise the publication of the names of people who have received a transfer of value.
