EURO HEALTH Podcast
The guests of this podcast are carefully selected professors, doctors and others, so as they are experts in the health sector and discuss a range of complex topics which should be debated by the European politicians in Brussels. The world is swelled by crises in the health sector but just a few get properly elaborated on. The EURO HEALTH Podcast is here to change the narrative and provide valuable perspectives on issues which might seem obsolete but are equally important as others. Moderated by Jan Klusáček.
