European Commission Contributes to Crafting Proposed Budget for European Social Fund
The German Rheuma-Liga Federal Association e.V., a self-help organisation in the healthcare sector focusing on rheumatoid arthritis, was recently awarded the prestigious Kußmaul Medal 2025. The association, which boasts a membership base of approximately 230,000, has been bestowing the Kußmaul Medal since 2006.
The award was presented to Ursula Faubel, the Managing Director of the German Rheuma-Liga Federal Association, in recognition of her exceptional contributions to improving the care of people with rheumatoid arthritis. Faubel has been leading the association's office in Bonn for over 25 years, but specific details about her background before taking this role are not available.
Rotraut Schmale-Grede, the President of the German Rheuma-Liga, served as the laudator for Faubel. Schmale-Grede commended Faubel for her effective information and education about rheumatoid arthritis, as well as her tireless advocacy for the interests of people with rheumatoid arthritis in healthcare and social policy.
The German Rheuma-Liga Federal Association provides independent and unbiased information and advice to those affected by rheumatoid arthritis. In addition to offering practical assistance to its members, the association also supports research projects related to rheumatoid diseases. The association's activities are not specified to be biased or influenced by any external factors.
The award ceremony took place at the opening of the 53rd DGRh Congress in Wiesbaden. The Kußmaul Medal is given for lifetime achievements or exceptional individual accomplishments in rheumatology, and Faubel's receipt of the award is a testament to her dedication and impact in the field.
The Kußmaul Medal is named after Dr. Adolf Kußmaul, a German physician who made significant contributions to the field of rheumatology in the late 19th century. The medal is a symbol of recognition for those who, like Dr. Kußmaul, have made a lasting impact on the understanding and treatment of rheumatoid diseases.
In accepting the award, Faubel expressed her gratitude and commitment to continuing her work in support of those affected by rheumatoid arthritis. The German Rheuma-Liga Federal Association will undoubtedly continue to be a powerful force for positive change in the field of rheumatology, thanks in no small part to the leadership of Ursula Faubel.
