EAACI 2017 closing ceremony
The theme for the Helsinki Congress was “On the road to prevention and healthy living”. A unifying theme for EAACI, in making patients’ lives healthy, and controlling inflammation, despite their allergies. With more than half of all Europeans soon expected to suffer from allergy, ensuring our patients have a better quality of life, despite the allergy epidemic, is an obvious goal for the association, said Antti Lauerma, EAACI Congress 2017 Chair.
