Dialogue 2020

Exchange of information and specialised know how

ANQ considers networking and the transfer of knowledge to be underlying requirements. In the pandemic year of 2020, it continued to maintain the dialogue with its members and partners, the authorities and policymakers. At the same time, it intensified its exchange of expertise with other important health organisations. ANQ experts contributed their know how on various committees, taught courses and sat on an award jury.
