To do this, the research we do before writing an article includes speaking with representatives of support group associations that focus on the particular topic. We usually contact them through the German Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) patient representative group.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the associations and the G-BA patient representative group for their help. The following support group associations based in Germany have assisted us with the topics we have published since 2023 and have consented to being listed here:
