Paulina Kolbe, Austria

Secretary

Paulina was diagnosed with PH1 at the age of five. It took over fifteen years for her to receive appropriate treatment, and more than twenty years before she met other patients living with the same condition. Thanks to her mother’s encouragement to drink plenty of water daily, her kidneys are still functioning very well. She joined this self-support group with the goal of helping other patients avoid the feelings of isolation and confusion she experienced in the past. Her mission is to raise awareness of PH1 and emphasize the importance of timely and appropriate treatment.
