Diary of Mariela Deliverska, LL.M, JD, DMSc. Associate Professor at Faculty of Public Health, Medical University, Sofia, Bulgaria
29 October 2017, Sunday afternoon
Arriving in Salzburg after a difficult trip from Vienna, due to bad weather and storm, which caused the cancellation of both flights and trains from Vienna to Salzburg. The weather was not very friendly to me on my first visit to Salzburg, but the welcoming at Schloss Arenberg was very nice and warm. When I first walked into the beautiful building of Schloss Arenberg I was welcomed by kind and friendly team, which made sure to assist me on everything I needed. This made me feel very comfortable. Shortly before 19:00 o’clock we slowly started gathering by the reception where I had the opportunity to meet some friends from the Association of schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and also to get familiar with new fellows from different countries who are also attending the seminar along with me. After the reception, where we enjoyed nice drinks, we were offered delicious traditional meals in a very hospital environment. The atmosphere was very nice and over dinner I had the chance to get to know better some of the new fellows I had just previously met. I was surprised to discover that most of the participants at the seminar were lawyers, just as me, working in interdisciplinary public health environment. After the end of the dinner, right when I was going to my room, I saw some other attendees to arrive with delay just due to the storm and the difficult weather conditions.
30 October 2017, Monday
On the first morning of my stay at Schloss Arenberg, I enjoyed nice breakfast right before the beginning of the program of the law and health seminar. The first morning session started right at 8 o’clock, where all faculty members introduced themselves following a short overview of the structure of the course. Right before the beginning of the first topics in the morning session, a self-assessment questionnaire dedicated to public health law services was given to all participants. Mr. Tobias Gartner captures our attention with a fascinating presentation on the future of healthcare, directly relating the public health with a multidisciplinary approach. After the end of the first lecture we were invited to take a group picture in front of the main entrance of Schloss Arenberg. We all went out, where the photographer captured our excitement from being here and having the opportunity to participate in such an interesting seminar. Following the photo session, we all enjoyed hot drinks, tea and coffee garnered with delicious sweets. The second presentation of the morning session was delivered by Scott Burris, who talked on the topic of law and health in regard to innovation. The third presentation was on European Health Law and was delivered by André den Exter from the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. Some of the main aspects of his presentation referred to patient mobility, professional mobility, pharmaceutical law and future perspectives. At lunch time, we tasted delicious plates with traditional food and had the opportunity to share our impressions from the day so far. The afternoon topic was dedicated to public health ethics and was interestingly presented by Peter Schroder – Back from the Maastricht University. He focused on the concept of human dignity in biomedical law and the relation between ethics and law. Right after the coffee break, we were divided into working groups with the assignment to prepare presentations on legislation related to HIV positive people from different social groups. At the end of the day an interesting presentation on Evaluation Research was given by Scott Burris, who introduces us to the characteristics of evidence based policy. Right after the end of his lecture, I had time to rest a little bit, before going to dinner with some of the other fellows who also attend the seminar.

I woke up in the morning, excited to hear the presentations on today’s topics, as from the initial program I was left with the impression that many interesting hours are to be spend along the day.Had a nice breakfast with delicious fruits and hot coffee, the taste of which was still intensive even an hour after I had enjoyed it. Few minutes before 8 o’clock I entered the lecture hall, where André den Exter, as first presenter of the day, was ready for his speech. The topic prepared referred by his reffered to the main objectives of European Union E-Health law. Second for the day was Tobias Gantner, who presented the topic of digital health and its special connection to public health. After the coffee break, Scott Burris focused out attention to advocacy basics, as later on we were divided into 4 working groups, given each group a different topic to work on, as a result to which we had to prepare a presentation in regard to certain country of our choice, policy based approach and access to specific national and regional characteristics defining a proposal we had to come up with, in order to solve a significant problem.Being in the process of discussing possible solutions on the topic provided and the country chosen by the group, we had a short break for lunch where while tasting delicious meals we had the opportunity to discuss with other fellows our ideas as to the working group sessions. As the lunch ended with tasty sweets and fruits, we all entered the main lecture hall for the presentation of Scott Burris on the support for enforcing and defending legal solutions. Apart from the theoretical and practical information provided during the lecture, we had the opportunity to get some guiding lines as to continue with the group session work. After sharing our ideas and views on various legal approaches in regard to solving challenging issues on the topic given to our group, short after 17:30 we all had a break for concluding up for the day with a short talk by Scott Burris on policy surveillance and evaluation. To enjoy the dinner, despite the intensive day, was a beautiful feeling. Had the opportunity to talk with fellows on certain traditional Bulgarian meals and drinks we have at different regions of the country, as some of the people had already visited Bulgaria and shared their experience with me.

This morning I had less time for breakfast as usual, as I slept a little bit longer, but I felt wonderful because outside was warm sunny, as I was excited for the day ahead of us. The morning lecture session was dedicated to the relationship between public health and human rights in patient care, as Mr. Joaquin Cayon from the University of Cantabria, captured our attention with an interesting lecture on that issue. Right after his presentation, some of our fellows who had long practice and experience working in the field of Human rights in patient care, dedicated their time to reveal to us some of the specific characteristics of this topic. At lunchtime, while enjoying the delicious local cuisine, we all were organizing the upcoming hours, planning to visit beautiful places in the city. According to our schedule, most of us would of spend some time to walk around city and enjoying the beautiful weather. For me, as it is my first visit to Salzburg, I tried to capture as most impressions as possible and also to explore as more places as possible. I am impressed by the atmosphere of the city and I definitely do like to come back again. A beautiful chamber music concert was organized for all participants at the main hall, shortly after diner, where we had the opportunity to enjoy excellent music and performance in a really unique atmosphere.

I arrived after taking the train between Rennes and Paris-Charles De Gaulle Airport, and two flights between Paris and Frankfurt, and Frankfurt and Salzburg!. My two flights were delated because of the weather, but I finally could landed, contrary to Robert Otok, the ASPHER’s Director, which flight must unfortunately return to Frankfurt because of the wind!. I spoke German, English and French with the taxi driver, who deposited me in front of this very nice and imposant Schloss Arenberg. It was a pity to lack the welcoming cocktail (!) but I managed to join the group for the diner. The Schloss is a great and imposant old and historic building, with a very interesting and attractive mix between old atmosphere and contemporary art, included comfortable rooms.
30 October 2017, Monday
The seminar began at 8 am so we woke up early. We were welcoming by Judith W Overall (coordinator of the Seminar), Katarzina Czabanowska (President of ASPHER) and Robert Otok (Director of ASPHER) in the large Mainroom. We had lessons during all the day with different approaches of Healthcare and Public Health especially relating to the future, ethics, European Union Health law. It’s my first time in a such one week Seminar on Law and Health, and the mix between doctors and lawers from 22 different nationalities is really a great experience! The main room is decorated with an nice exhibition of photography portraits. It’s great to work in this conditions. At the Evening, we met us in the most famous place of bear of Salzburg!

This day was very intensive with talks included a projection in the future thanks to Tobias Gantner whith “Digital Health meets Public Health”!. We began our working group based on instructions gived by Scott Burris for “Using Law and Policy effectively in Public Health”. We had to work specifically on the topic of “men wo have sex with men”. Honestly, at the beginning, it seems to us really difficult to think and purpose a new law in a such short time. However, we managed and choose France to purpose reinforcing accessibility on HIV- Self tasting with a less price. After the dinner, we went in town walking and drinking in an Ireland pub. We watched a champion league match and it was Halloween evening.
1 November 2017, Wednesday
Weak up early again, it’s a shame to stay all the day indoor and discover a such nice town only by night. But the Seminar is intense with a conviviality in the group. This day, we finished our working group presentation. During the Fellow’s case presentations, I was very honored to play the role of Agnes Busyn, our new French Ministry of Health, for whom it’s a priority to support the subject of prevention.
It was a great moment and the 4 presentations were so different and interesting. After other and last talking, we went in town for a short time, dinner and I went directly sleeping. I was really tired .
2 November 2017, Thursday
A very interesting morning on the topic of patient rights beginning with the interactive approach of Joachin Cayon and a succession of short presentations including a useful Human rights and patients care practitioner Guide. We really enjoyed the free afternoon having finally the opportunity to visit Salzburg by day and to go shopping in the old town. The sky was blue and the temperature not so cold. There are several specifics Christmas and also chocolate shops. I burned a little candle in the big church in memory of my grandmother who was religious and so admiringly of Mozart. With Mariela from Bulgaria, we took a lot of photos, included the great Gold Glob Sculpture with a men on the top in a large place. After the dinner, we were so lucky to assist at a classical concert in the main room. A nice experience in the birth town of Mozart! To finish the evening, we had with all the group a very great time with laughs and sings!! It seems that we’ll have for our last evening a special choreography based on a mix with “We are the Champions” and “Yesterday”, so let’s see!. After Debussy and Schuman, a variety of art!
A really thanks for the so great welcoming and organization, facilities and good food in Schloss Arenberg, that I discovered for the first time.

I started my journey to Austria on Saturday at 6 am from Bishkek to Salzburg via Istanbul. I arrived in Salzburg in the evening of the same day and went to Schloss Arenberg. I was there before but every time I enjoy this beautiful town. The reception staff was very polite and helpful. On Sunday at 7 pm we met for Welcome reception. Co-course director Katarzyna Czabanowska introduced all Faculty members to us and then we were introduced to each other. Atmosphere was very friendly. As for me, it was interesting to meet so many lawyers on this seminar. Unfortunately, 13 fellows couldn’t attend this event because most flights were cancelled this day due to a powerful windstorm gusting up to 130-150 km/h across Austria and Germany. After the dinner, most of us spent the rest of the evening engaging in cheerful conversation in the lobby.

At the breakfast, we met fellows who were late for dinner because of windstorm. The seminar started at 8 am. Course director Judith Overall and Co-course Directors Katarzyna Czabanowska and Robert Otok introduced the program and overview of the seminar. The first lection of Dr. Tobias Gantner was dedicated to the Future of Healthcare and Public Health. It was very interesting lecture for me. Before coffee-break we had a Group photo with Faculty. After break we listened about EU Health Law presented by André den Exter, who gave us comprehensive information on this issue. Dr. Peter Schöder-Bäck presented us Public Health Ethics. He used interactive method of information delivery. Then Scott Burris gave us lecturers on Law and Health and then instructions for working in Groups. All fellows were divided to 4 Groups. I was in Group 1 and we discussed the topic “HIV and Drug users” and we choose Ukraine as a model. We used casual diagrams and a Haddon Matrix for our activity. I liked this work very much! After dinner the first seminar day was finished with my new colleagues under pleasant conversation.

After breakfast we started to work. First lecture of Andre den Exter was devoted to EU E-Health Law: expectations, advantages, risks and unresolved issues of E-Health. The next lecturer Tobias Gantner gave us a lecture on Digital Health. After coffee-break Scott Burris continued his lecture on Using Law and Policy Effectively in Public Health.

We began the day in our Groups with 2 more hours to finalize our research, proposal and presentation. We agreed in the Group who will present our work to the auditorium. After coffee-break we stated our presentations. We were first. I think all 4 presentations were very informative with creativity approach to the given issue. After every presentation we had interesting discussions. As for me, works in the Group was very helpful. Now I have knowledge how we can develop a proposal for a national law in my country. In the second part of the day Andres Roman-Urrestarazu gave us lecture on Drug policy: New insights of old problems. Then several fellows presented us their Case studies. After each Case we had constructive discussions. The final lecture on this day was devoted to Human Rights in Patient Care. Judith Overall gave us information on differences between HPPC and Patients’ Rights, Quality of Medical Care, Interrelations, Advocacy and PH Ethics.
2 November 2017, Thursday
In the morning we listened to the lecture Human Rights in Patient Care by Joaquin Cayon. I think his lecture was an extremely useful for me and my work in Palliative Care project, especially topics on Right to information and Right to informed consent. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time for listening to another his lecture End-of-life decisions. And we got only printed copies of this presentation. Then some of our fellows (lawyers) provided their presentations which were devoted to different aspects of Human Rights in Patient Care. After that Judith Overall distributed of the Group work assignment on Friday. After lunch we had free afternoon! The weather was fine- warm and sunny and I together with several fellows went for a walk around the city. We visited Mirabel Park, Old Town and Hohensalzburg Fortress enjoying the charming pretty sights of Salzburg. In the evening we had Chamber music concert in Schloss Arenberg. The concert was amazing, and we thanked the musicians for the gift of listening to such beautiful music. After the concert, we went to the lobby where glasses of champagne and wine were awaiting us. We had another chance to talk with everyone: faculty and fellows.
3 November 2017, Friday
The last day of our Seminar we started to work in the same Groups. We tried to implement Human Rights and Patient Care for Drug Users in the context of HIV in Georgia. After 2 hours of preparing we presented our works and discussed each presentation. In the evening we attended to the Graduation ceremony where we got Certificates. Dr. Wolfgang Aulitzky, Medical Director of the American Austrian Foundation, greeted everybody and underlined the importance of these seminars in promoting medicine across the world as well as a long-lasting relationships with fellows and Faculty. Then we heard short speeches from Faculty. All of the fellows exchanged their contacts and promised to meet one day again which I hope that will be true.
Overall, it was an amazing and unforgettable week. A week that gave me the possibility to meet new, interesting people, to find out important and useful information in the field of Law and Health. I am sure this experience will improve my theoretical and clinical practice skills.
Thanks to Faculty and the staff of Salzburg Medical Seminars for this wonderful week!
