The patient debates are a completely new formula to show the general public a broad perspective related to health issues.

In setting up the debates, we assume that each of us, even if we are currently healthy, may end up on the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway in a short while and should have knowledge of what challenges and problems arise on such a pathway.

In the programme, patients, talking about their experiences, can make professionals aware of how frustrating and confusing the process can be. Experts, on the other hand, discuss current health market issues in an accessible way.

I want the debates to become a platform where issues important not only to professionals, but above all to patients, whose voice is still not sufficiently heard in the healthcare system, are addressed.
