Patient Council News: April 2016

April has been a busy month for the EASO Patient Council. Our colleague Sólveig Sigurðardóttir has been awarded a significant community prize by Fréttabladid, the largest Icelandic newspaper, for her work campaigning against ‘fat shaming’. She is photographed here with the President of Iceland Mr. Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, who presented the award. Sólveig has been campaigning in Iceland for years on this issue and EASO congratulates her on this impressive national recognition.
