Our long-term goal is to enable CML patients to take part in the decision making process of health policies and strategies affecting them.
To achieve this goal, a lot of steps must be taken on three levels:
1. The patients and care givers: we organize supporting sessions, providing them with data, encouraging them to take part in different activities, and to follow up updated medical researches.
2. The society. We arrange awareness campaigns as well as continuous surveys to measure the effectiveness of the anti-stigma campaigns we manage, and above all advocating the patient rights.
3. The policy maker. We plan to contact the persons in charge to negociate patient’s problems and to suggest further solutions.
