đ§ SSPHO Strategy
The SSPHO Board is currently establishing the Society's strategy for the final year of the current legislative term and the beginning of the next. Building on core society functions, Board leadership, and valuable feedback from members at the 2026 General Assembly, this updated strategy focuses on ensuring SSPHO's impact for its members, the broader professional community, and the children, adolescents, and young adults affected by cancer and blood disorders, along with their families. Our sincere thanks go to all partners, members, and the Board for making the work of the SSPHO possible. More about the SSPHO mission on the website: www.sspho.ch.
