Don't Wait for Illness to Remind You to Return to Yourself
The guests of the next podcast "Healthy Lifestyle Guide with Danijela Davidov Kesar" will be representatives of several patient associations. They will talk about how they learned about their diagnosis, what their fight against the disease was like, and why they decided to be part of patient associations. Patient associations play a key role in informing, empowering, and connecting people going through similar, great challenges. They are the voice of those who are often not heard loud enough, but also a bridge between patients, the health system, and decision-makers.
