Quote from the President:

"I am convinced that international co-operation will bring us all more together and are a benefit for all education and hopefully improving the health care system and care for patients all over Europe. It makes us better understanding our historical roots and cultural differences as well. It must stimulate us to have respect for all ways of working and open the door for positive discussions and improve quality. " Cultural awareness and acknowledgement are cornerstones for an effective trans-cultural society " I wish you a lot of success and thank you for your interest."
