Member Profile: Swiss Self-Help Organization Pancreatic Diseases
The SSP Schweizer Selbsthilfeorganisation Pankreaserkrankungen (Swiss Self-Help Organization Pancreatic Diseases) was founded in 1998 to provide medical information on pancreatic diseases and therapies. At the time, it published a patient brochure in collaboration with the University Hospital of Berne and organized information events at hospitals. A decade later, its members had diminished. In 2012, Daniela Meier inquired about re-launching the organization, and today, she is president. The organization empowers patients to get access to resources that can improve quality of life.
