Hello Roberto,

The gift restrictions are established by the Sunshine Act that came into effect in 2010. I had to personally abide by the restrictions of the Sunshine Act before. We were conducting a clinical study at one of the hospitals. when the study was completed with successful results. The company thought that inviting the Physicians and their team to dinner, just as a thank you for their efforts. When we ran that idea by our legal department, they informed us that we have to make sure that we abide by the Sunshine act. Therefore, we decided to invite the team for MODEST dinner to present the study findings after the company issued a press release of the study results.

Best,
Fady
