Activities

Through its activities, the DHVG aims to:

  • Ensure establishment of task groups (project groups) dealing with the elaboration of Danish guidelines for treatment of herpesvirus infections within relevant specialities, and to ensure that these guidelines are approved by relevant scientific societies

  • Inform relevant physicians in Denmark about the guidelines

  • Provide workshops for relevant physicians and advisers in Denmark.

DHVG is scientifically independent of company interests. A Glaxo Wellcome supported foundation contributes financially to the secretariat of DHVG.
