"The promotion of innovative projects for therapy management and improved communication between doctors and patients can contribute significantly to faster recovery and thus to the early return of people to society and the workplace."

Mag.pharm. Dr. Doris Haider, MMBA aHPh

VCC Program Director for Oncological Pharmacology and Pharmacoeconomics
“As a clinical pharmacist, guaranteeing safe, effective and efficient pharmacotherapy is an essential part of quality-assured patient care. The prerequisite for this is the continuous optimization of pharmacotherapy for each patient and a rapid transfer of the latest scientific findings into everyday clinical practice. The Vienna Cancer Center (VCC) bundles the high level of expertise and competence of various specialist disciplines in order, on the one hand, to enable the quality-assured establishment of innovative oncological therapies and, on the other, to guarantee optimal care for oncological patients. In this sense, I am particularly pleased that the Join4Care Award honors practice and patient-oriented projects! "

KR Mag. Alexander Herzog

Secretary General of Pharmig
“The pharmaceutical industry is tirelessly researching new therapeutic options. Every single innovation is invaluable and can change the course of a patient's disease. But that's only part of patient care. Knowledge transfer, interaction and understanding are other factors that determine the quality of patient care. The MSD Join4Care Award focuses precisely on this. It helps ensure that the factors of education and communication are given the importance they deserve for patient care. "

Univ.Prof.Dr. Helmut Ofner

University of Vienna - Professor at the Faculty of Law
