Award with a mission
The Golden OTIS Trust Award is given to outstanding physicians, pharmacists, journalists and patient organizations, as well as pharmaceutical companies. As its creators add - it is "an award with a mission, recognizing and supporting those areas of health care that have been overlooked by decision-makers."
The plebiscite has been organized since 2004 by the Golden OTIS Trust Award Institute with the cooperation of "Świat Lekarza" magazine and the following portals: pacjenci.pl, nazdrowie.pl, zlotyotis.pl, swiatlekarza.pl and medycynawpolsce.pl, as well as professional organizations of health care communities in Poland.
