Penilla Gunther: Honored to be part of the IFPA Congress in Stockholm

Penilla Gunther shared on LinkedIn:

“So honored to be part of the IFPA Congress in Stockholm by welcoming all delegates, even though from a distance when I and many more have been at the Almedalen week at the island of Gotland.

Also discussing improvements for patients, we are united to keep on working for patients rights to have innovative solutions.

Thank you to Bristol Myers Squibb for the opportunity to collaborate also in this area.”
