Penilla Gunther: Put 17-18 March 2025 in your calendar!
Penilla Gunther, Member of the EU Cancer Mission and Former Member of Swedish Parliament, shared a post by FOKUS Patient on LinkedIn, adding the following:
“Yes – put in 17-18 March into your calendar for 2025! And look out, soon the website for the conferences will be launched!”
Quoting FOKUS Patient:
“The challenges for healthcare and life science are great.
How should we deal with the major causes of severe disease and reduce the number of deaths that exist in the areas of Communicable Diseases – Infectious diseases that viruses and bacteria cause and that actually affect us in everyday life, and Non-Communicable Diseases – Non-Communicable Diseases – Cardiovascular diseases together with cancer claim large numbers of lives per year?
These areas are large and prioritized by the UN, WHO and the EU – so what do we do in Sweden with NCDs? The number of elderly people is increasing and thus also the comorbidity, where we need to understand more about how different diagnoses are connected.
Welcome to FOKUS Patient FUTURE DAYS two interesting days 17-18 March 2025 with both Swedish and international participants – and where you as a participant are also an important part of the program!
Keep an eye out for our launch of the conference website and secure your place!
