In honour of World Pulmonary Hypertension Day, we look forward to presenting this webinar to share both the lived experiences of patients affected by PAH as well as insights from clinical experts in the field. Our panellists are strong advocates for building awareness, resources, and connections to support those living with PAH.
You will have the opportunity to submit questions to the speakers upon registration and during the live presentation.
