This event, which has gained international prestige, brought together specialists from all over Europe at the Gundel Palace, a historic building with over 130 years of history, located in the heart of the Hungarian capital, known as "The Queen of the Danube." The city, famous for its rich architecture, vibrant cultural life, and role as an economic powerhouse in Central Europe, was the perfect place to host this edition of the awards.

A Gala Event in an Exceptional Setting

The evening began with the arrival of the guests, who were received with an atmosphere of elegance and celebration. Despite the cold night, the Christmas lights adorning Budapest and the festive atmosphere made this occasion a memorable event. The attendees posed for the first photographs at the photocall set up by the organisation before enjoying a welcome cocktail inside the Gundel Palace. During this reception, there were interesting exchanges among those present, many of whom took the opportunity to discuss the latest advancements in the medical and scientific fields.

The Queen Elisabeth Ballroom, the main hall of the Gundel Palace, was the chosen venue for the awards ceremony and the subsequent gala dinner. With its classic gold and stucco decorations, this emblematic space reflected the quality and prestige of the European Awards in Medicine.

Throughout the night, a total of 24 statuettes were awarded, in a ceremony that showcased the excellence of medical professionals. Of the awards presented, 12 were given to specialists from Spain, evidencing the quality and international prestige of Spanish medicine. Professionals from the United Kingdom, Italy, Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Malta, and other European countries also received awards.

Each awardee had the opportunity to address the audience with a brief thank-you speech. Many of them mentioned the support of their families, friends, and work teams, whom they considered fundamental pillars of their success. Additionally, the speeches reflected a deep commitment to the future of medicine, alluding to the technological and scientific advances that will change the face of health in the coming years.
