The areas of our actions
Prix Galien Greece 2021
We saved lives and gave Unlimited Breath! Thanks to our efforts, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the competent authorities, Greek patients with Cystic Fibrosis gained early access to the revolutionary treatment that “freezes” the disease before it was approved in Europe. A victory for life, awarded with the Prix Galien Greece 2021, the “Nobel Prize of Pharmacy”!
