Dear patients,
Esteemed representatives of associations,
It is said that doctors possess knowledge about the disease, while patients gain understanding. We want to share a part of our knowledge with you at this Congress in a special section for patients. We aim to follow the best practices of international conferences that open their doors to oncology patients and see in them not just patients but partners in achieving a common goal – the best possible treatment outcomes.
It is my great honor and pleasure to welcome you all to Split, to our Section for Patients: „Partnership for better treatment outcomes" as part of the 15th congress of the 15th Congress of the Croatian Society for Medical Oncology of the Croatian Medical Association.
Welcome!
Stjepko Pleština
President of the Croatian Society for Medical Oncology (HDIO), a professional society of the Croatian Medical Association
