Patient centricity

Mr. Jung will highlight the potential for genuinely patient-centric services that go beyond mere pharmaceuticals, which PHOENIX is helping to deliver across Europe via its All-in-One Service brand.

The PHOENIX team at the BGF congress will also include Olaf Christiansen, Dr. Alexander Maier from PHOENIX group as well as Dr. Katja Acker and Annette Müller from PHOENIX Germany.

“As a truly integrated healthcare provider, PHOENIX group’s All-in-One services can provide tailor-made solutions for patients’ individual needs,” commented Stefan Jung.
