The REMEDY Center is dedicated to advancing research that improves patient care in rheumatology and musculoskeletal disorders, offering significant benefits for both individuals and society as a whole. The core mission of REMEDY is to develop exceptional treatments and strategic approaches to these health issues by employing a comprehensive research methodology. Our goal is to conduct pivotal clinical studies that have the potential to transform clinical practices. Diakonhjemmet Hospital serves as the host institution for the center, in collaboration with Oslo University Hospital, the University of Oslo, the Norwegian Rheumatism Association, and MAGIC as associated partners.
