The German, French and Swiss pulmonary hypertension associations held a joint meeting in Freiburg im Breisgau on April 22, 2023. An information stand was set up by ph e.v., the German pulmonary hypertension association, organiser of the meeting, on the square where the market which is held every Saturday morning, near the cathedral. Our brochures, magazines and goodies were at the disposal of the passers-by, who expressed curiosity and interest in the lung designs on our t-shirts. A good way to start the discussion and to raise awareness about pulmonary hypertension! We had lunch in a restaurant near the cathedral. The exchanges were very rich between patients, relatives, transplant patients and between the representatives of the national associations who were able to talk about common projects. Meeting in real life is so much warmer and more efficient than videoconferences!
Next year, HTaPFrance, the French pulmonary hypertension association, will be in charge of organising the tri-national meeting. Laure Rosé, HTaPFrance, reporting from the meeting.
