FIMATHO PROJECT TEAM
The project team coordinates the network’s day-to-day work and ensures implementation of the strategic orientations defined by the management committee.
It is composed of:
Appointed for a four-year term, the coordinator must be a university professor and hospital practitioner, as well as the coordinator of a rare diseases reference centre. Among their main responsibilities, the coordinator ensures the regular monitoring of the network’s projects, represents the network in dealings with organisations (such as the DGOS), chairs meetings of the steering committee, and so on.
The project leader is in charge of coordinating the project team. She oversees all of the network's actions and projects. She is in contact with the various stakeholders of the network (network members, patient organisations, other rare diseases networks, external service providers, etc.). Alongside the coordinator, she represents the network in dealings with institutions and with the Ministry of Health. She ensures budget monitoring for the network and collaborates in the compilation of official documents.
