“NDPIA creates excellent opportunities for research of highest quality”, the national journal for infection physicians in Sweden states in a quote from the article.

In its the first issue of 2019 the journal Infektionsläkaren published interviews with Fredrik Kahn, NDPIA Director of Studies at Lund University, Lisa Påhlmann, MIMS Clinical Research Fellow and Åke Forsberg, National coordinator for NDPIA .
