Each month we will be interviewing an IAPO member in six short questions.

4. What is your biggest achievement as an organization in the past year?We brought our organization up to international standards by getting acknowledged for our good work.

6. What do you think is the key benefit of being involved with IAPO and a global alliance for patients?A good knowledge base is the key factor. We learn what is happening in and around the world through IAPO, so that it could be impressed upon in our country for the patients’ benefit.
