Penilla Gunther: Prevention, diagnostics and treatments and QOL are goals for cancer and CVDs

Penilla Gunther, Member of the EU Cancer Mission, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“An incredible event once again organised by Global Heart Hub, this time in Dublin. Being a panellist and talk about the need for change in healthcare demands collaboration not only by HCPs and policy makers, but also within the patient community over the diagnosis borders.

I wish for a just clear CVD Health Plan in the European Union as the EBCP is. Understanding, prevention, diagnostics and treatments and Quality of Life are goals well suited for both cancer and CVDs.”
