At the 10th anniversary conference of the Hungarian Association of Patients’ Organisations, the SZÍVSN National Patients’ Association was able to present its work and talk about its achievements and challenges. At the panel discussion, we talked about new directions and opportunities with Dr. Katalin Szaloki, President of the Hungarian Anti-Cancer League and the Hungarian Association of Organ Transplantation – Hungarian Organ Transplant Patients, Dr. László Babai, President of the Life Method Society and Dr. Orsolya Baticz, Head of the Public Health Department of the State Secretariat for Health of the Ministry of the Interior, and started a joint work. The jubilee was also an opportunity for our patient organisation to open a new era with its own example.
