Claudius Galenus himself was a successful Greek physician, based on humour theory.
The Prix Galien was a purely French concept, until Belgium began organising its own chapter of the Prix Galien in 1982, making it a long-standing national tradition.
Artsenkrant/Le Journal du Médecin have been organizing the Prix Galien for 44 years, a prestigious award that promotes innovation in healthcare! After 1982, several other countries followed quickly.
Currently, the Prix Galien exists in a dozen countries in and outside Europe.
Have a look at the recent winners of the Prix Galien here.
