MDS Plattform Schweiz – Eine Gruppe von LYMPHOME.CH Patientennetz Schweiz

Lymphome.ch Patientennetz Schweiz ist eine gemeinnützige, ehrenamtlich geleitete Organisation, die 2001 gegründet wurde und 2005 zu einer formellen Vereinigung wurde. Unser Hauptziel ist es, Informationen über die Krankheit und alle Lymphomtypen bereitzustellen und Patienten und Angehörige zu unterstützen und zu begleiten, wenn es am meisten benötigt wird.

Wir möchten den Bekanntheitsgrad des Myelodysplastischen Syndroms MDS in der Schweiz steigern und MDS-Patienten für einen Informations- und Erfahrungsaustausch vernetzen. Ebenso Patienten, Angehörige und Freunde in einer durch Krankheit und Unsicherheit geprägten Lebensphase emotional unterstützen und ihnen dafür diese Plattform bieten.

Unsere Dienstleistungen beinhalten:

  • Beratung, Unterstützung bei der Krankheitsbewältigung (per Telefon, Email, persönlich)
  • Gesprächsgruppen in verschiedenen Schweizer Regionen.

Diese Treffen geben Lymphompatienten und ihren Angehörigen die Möglichkeit, sich aktiv und konstruktiv mit der Krankheit auseinanderzusetzen, in gegenseitigen Gesprächen zu lernen, die Krankheit besser zu verstehen, und trotz Krankheit die Lebensqualität und Freude zu bewahren.

  • Erstellung und Verteilung von Informationsmaterial (Broschüren, Flyer) über verschiedene Lymphomtypen sowie CLL, Hautlymphome und MDS.
  • INFO Lymphome.ch
  • Website lymphome.ch
  • Erfahrungs- und Informationsaustausch mit anderen Patientenorganisationen im hämatologischen Bereich, um das Netzwerk zu erweitern und Kräfte zu bündeln.
  • Organisation von Patientensymposien, wie anlässlich des Welt-Lymphom-Tages WLAD, um das Bewusstsein für die Krankheit zu stärken
  • Teilnahme an Kongressen, medizinischen Veranstaltungen und Beiratstätigkeit

Wir stellen MDS-Patienten und deren Angehörigen Informationsbroschüren zur Verfügung. Folgende Broschüren unserer deutschen Freunde sind bei uns erhältlich:

We make periodical publications and distribute them free of charge.

The founders of TAMID are patients, family members and leading haematologists from several medical institutions in Israel, all volunteering to pursue the vision of improving MDS patients‘ quality of life.

We support MDS patients and their families by:

  • Providing approachable information, intended for those without a medical background.
  • Enabling personal support to patients and their families, on a voluntary basis, within the community.
  • Developing and promoting the awareness to the disease within the public and the medical teams.
  • Funding revolutionary medical treatments which are currently inaccessible to patients, including new treatments as well as protocols used for other haematological diseases that are believed to be effective in MDS, and create a pedestal for the discussion about the inclusion of these treatments in the public health insurance.

We are committed to promote and enhance the collaboration between various medical institutions, to enable access to international trials and promote and implement cutting-edge treatments.
