Quoting Diana Castro Paupério‘s post:
”2025 | A year of strategic consolidation in Patient Blood Management
NATA 25 was a truly transformative experience, a space for critical reflection, global alignment, and forward-looking discussion on the future of Patient Blood Management.
Thank you Jens Meier, Sigismond Lasocki, Patrick Meybohm , Tina Tomić Mahečić, Elvira Bisbe Vives and my dear Susan de Bièvre.
In parallel, contributing to the revision of the WHO Implementation Guidance reinforced the essential link between evidence, ethics, and real-world impact in healthcare systems.
Thank you Dr. Axel Hofmann, ME and Fausto Pinto.
2025 also marked the consolidation of my presidency of the Portuguese Chapter of the SIAPBM, alongside a strong focus on education and capacity building, including the PBM Course with Ajay Gandhi.
Thank you Angel Augusto Pérez Calatayud, Fredy Ariza, Guilherme Rabello and Ajay Gandhi.
Finally, a source of particular pride: the Integrated Master’s in Medicine at the Universidade de Aveiro.
Teaching Patient Blood Management from the second year of medical training is a deliberate investment in sustainability, in the future of the medical profession, and in truly patient-centred care.
Thank you Firmino Machado and Luis Malheiro.
