Dear Friends,

As mentioned earlier, my vision is establishing a European (International) Balneolgical-Medical Hydrological Institute in Budapest within the framework of ISMH( and with theoretical support of UEMS). I try to make an effort to get support together with my colleague, Gabor Porzse MD (he is responsible for the project management and the financial process). The cost of the Institute would be covered by the Hungarian Government from EU subsidies.

In order to achieve our goal please provide us your theoretical agreements (especially your societies’ or your own personal agreements).

We are planning to form a Hungarian and an International advisory board.

Please find an official letter of support in the attached file. If you agree with the text, please send it back by mail (on an officially headed paper) to my postal address.

Kind regards,

Tamás Bender MD .PH Presdient of ISMH
