The prize is awarded by the National Association for Public Health and is given to a researcher in Norway who meets high professional goals and who can demonstrate significant results in the heart field. Haugaa, who is professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo and consultant at Oslo University Hospital, received the award for her pioneering work focusing on preventing sudden cardiac death due to genetic heart defects.
- This award means a lot. First and foremost, it is important for all patients with hereditary heart diseases and their families, says Haugaa, and continues:
- The prize is of course also important for me and my research team. We have worked together for many years with research into hereditary heart diseases. It's really nice to be recognized for this.
