As a result of the merger, the ESR uses both the congress infrastructure of the ECR and the political and organizational relations of the EAR. According to its own statute, the work of society is committed to patient benefit and benefit for the pan-European health system . This should be increased through the financial and professional support of the ESR in science, teaching and research.
