BD at ECCMID 2019 in Amsterdam

The 13-16th of April saw BD at ECCMID 2019. Held in the historic canal city of Amsterdam, we were there to showcase our latest, most innovative diagnostic solutions. Under the banner of ‘The Difference We Make Together – Patient Safety Starts with Innovative Solutions’, our aim was to send to the world a message of the importance of patient safety and how our diagnostic solutions could help provide it.
Improving patient safety through innovation, best practices and education cannot happen in isolation. Working together, at every and all levels of responsibility in the hospital, is crucial towards ensuring the prevalence of a culture of patient safety.

Our mission with our full range of diagnostic solutions is to help identify pathogens, guide targeted therapy and prevent adverse patient safety events. Our innovative diagnostic solutions deliver rapid and accurate results to drive optimal patient management.



Four days of excitement, information, technology solutions towards Advancing the World of Health.



ECCMID 2019 provided us with an excellent opportunity to celebrate our latest diagnostic solutions.

Centred around the BD COR™ system and lab automation, our celebration also allowed our customers to share their experiences on how our solutions have impacted their work with laboratories.

Welcome by Dave Hickey

BD Life Sciences-Diagnostic Systems President

"I would like to think of diagnostic stewardship as an integrated and holistic approach to the role of specimen management, to the role of clinical diagnostics, microbiology diagnostics, and the provision of timely results and insights to really affect better patient management and care. That is the philosophy of BD through our innovation strategy and our purpose of advancing the world of health."
