24 European Reference Networks, based on an initiative of the European Commission and EU Member States, are networks of healthcare professionals, centres of expertise and patient organisations aimed at improving quality, safety, and access to highly specialised healthcare in Europe.

The EuroBloodNet European Reference Network,  covering rare haematological diseases,  has kicked off on 27 January 2017 in Paris with 66 partner organisations from 15 countries. The Leukemia Patient Advocates Foundation, CML Advocates Network and CLL Advocates Network are deeply involved in EuroBloodNet to make sure it delivers to patients' needs.

We are proud to welcome a new member organisation to the CML Advocates Network: Pacientes LMC based in Spain. The CML Advocates Network now totals at 113 member organisations in 84 countries worldwide! See the list of CML groups in the Network on our world map.

At the annual ASH congress, the iCMLf, in collaboration with The Max Foundation, holds its annual "iCMLf Forum for Physicians from Emerging Regions". Presenters give the local emerging regions perspectives on each topic, followed by iCMLf experts from western countries and a discussion with the audience. The Forum was opened with a keynote from Dr. Brian Druker on meeting the new challenges in CML therapy. Then, Professor Tapan Saikia from India and Professor Andreas Hochhaus from Germany covered the challenges of CML frontline therapy. Afterwards Dr Anthony Oyekunle from Botswana and Dr Delphine Réa from France covered the issue of comorbidities when managing CML. The webstreams are now available.
