The aim of the MillióLépés health programme, run by the Hungarian Transplant Federation, is to get healthier and fitter through regular exercise and to get an understanding of how much we actually move. Find out more here: https://milliolepes.hu/

🌟 MEGNYERTÜK az "Aktív Magyarországért" DÍJAT! 🌟

A rangos díj elismeri mindazt az erőfeszítést és teljesítményt, amellyel a Millió lépés programunk az ország legnagyobb, mozgásra ösztönző aktivitását érte el. 👣

A program mögötti csapat mindent megtesz, hogy a felhasználók elégedettek legyenek: a Magyar Szervátültetettek Szövetsége Millió Lépés hajóján lévő rendkívül lelkes szakemberek:

👉 A Business Software Solutions Kft. felel a fejlesztésért és a szerveres háttérért, amelyek lehetővé teszik az app. zökkenőmentes működését.
👉 A kommunikációt a PR-ego ügynökség végezte el hibátlanul.

A program nem csak a mozgásról szólt, hanem az egészségről és az életmentésről is. Napi edukációs üzenetekkel látjuk el a felhasználókat, melyekről bővebb információt is megtalálhattak a csatlakozó linkeken és videókon.

👉 Az egész folyamat összefogását, a céges versenyek menedzselését, valamint a napi üzenetek megfogalmazását dr. Csaba Grózli végzi a kezdetek óta.

A díjat az Aktív Magyarország Konferenciáján a Magyar Szervátültetettek Szövetsége elnöke, Judit Berente, valamint stratégiai- és orvosigazgatónk, dr. Grózli Csaba vette át.
