Making a Difference in Health Care by Opening a Locally Focused Pharmacy
You are required to prepare a ‘pitch deck’ to support the launch of a new product or service that addresses a current problem or issue but also has a direct connection to the health care industry.
This presentation’s overarching intent is to obtain funding from a commercial or private financier.
Thus, the final product should be professional, clear, appropriately structured, logical, and concise.
Prepare your response in PowerPoint format, suitable for presentation to a senior level executive. Note: All Excel work should be imported into the presentation in table format (in the body of the document) or enclosed as an Appendix within the same document.
