As dedicated volunteers for our pulmonary hypertension patient associations, we understand the immense effort involved in crafting a newsletter. It goes beyond just creating content, which requires extensive research and writing, but also involves sourcing the right photos, designing an attractive layout, printing, and distribution. Newsletters serve as a fantastic way to stay connected with our communities and keep them informed about developments that matter to them.
Within these newsletters lie valuable articles relevant not only to our Members’ countries but also to the wider pulmonary hypertension community. However, it’s disheartening that all this incredible content, which represents countless hours of work and energy, often remains confined within individual countries and communities. As part of our mission at the PH-KSP, we aim to change this by fostering the exchange of knowledge and expertise.
We are delighted to share links to the latest monthly/quarterly newsletters from AfPH Members. In these newsletters, you’ll find a wealth of valuable articles.
