War and transplantation

During the 13th Board, Professor Piotr Kaliciński, from Children’s Memorial Health Institute of Warsaw, Poland lead a session in which he explained how they are living the current situation in Ukraine and how they are facing the increasing number of patients. Below you can find the link to a short movie that shows the situation of Ukranian children and the help they are receiving from the Institute.

With the collaboration of Professor Christophe Chardot and Professor Olivier Goulet, from Necker-enfants malades Hospital.

Interview with Rodrigo Adam and Terry Lourties

Paediatric transplantation is a complex process which requires a lifelong follow-up. However, receiving a paediatric transplantation did not prevent Rodrigo and Terry from living a normal life. Watch the full interview to learn more about their story.

ERNs Crosslink

Crosstalk among ERNs is an important task that could help improving healthcare for rare diseases. Therefore, it is necessary that the networks start collaborating and working together in their overlapping areas. 

Story of Paula

Paediatric transplantations require a complex, life-long follow-up. For patients like Paula, a girl from Barcelona, the European Reference Networks help get the best pre and post-operative care.

European Reference Networks: a ray of hope

In 2017 over 900 highly-specialised medical teams from all over Europe joined their forces in the European Reference Networks (ERNs). In this video, doctors and patients explain how the ERNs can tackle complex or rare diseases.
