Träffpunkt Sömn and ResMed celebrate
World Sleep Day 2014 with attention on Sleep Apnea

On March 14th, World Sleep Day 2014, Träffpunkt Sömn and ResMed will organize a hearing with politicians from all 20 county councils in Sweden. The politicians are responsible for medical devices and will be questioned regarding the status of treatment in each council. A new online e-learning edutainment platform, designed to raise awareness – the Sleep School – will be launched and demonstrated, followed by a discussion consisting of a panel of leading experts on Sleep. In addition, there will be interviews with several doctors and nurses specialized in sleep related areas, as well as the chairman of the patient association in Stockholm regarding awareness activities that were performed during 2013.

The entire program will be broadcast on the website http://traffpunktsomn.se
