Vom ersten Patienten zum nationalen Zentrum
摘要
The journey from the first publication in Pädiatrie Pädologie in 1985 to the opening of a national mitochondrial expertise center in 2025 at the University Hospital for Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine in Salzburg is more than just a medical success story in Austria. Especially in the field of congenital metabolic disorders (rare diseases), it serves as an example of what can be achieved through continuous collaboration, international exchange, and tireless dedication—primarily for patient care, but also for research and education.
