HISTORY OF ÖGAI
The Austrian Society for Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI) was founded in 1971 and is now younger than ever. The founders’ vision of helping patients with allergies and immune system problems through interdisciplinary collaboration has been confirmed, particularly during the pandemic.
Let’s take a little ÖGAI journey through the past 5 decades together.
