Today we will publish a press release in the main Russian medical media dedicated to MDS Awareness Day on behalf of our patient society.

In addition, this year we’ve helped MDS patients to receive the most advanced therapy for their disease. We’ve had several court hearings across Russian regions. All the hearings were successful for us and our patients.

Linfomas Argentina

This year we’ve held the First Argentinian Patient – Relative – Nurse – Caregiver Encounter in Buenos Aires, with the aim of informing patients about MDS and making this disease be known among the general population. Not enough clinicians in Argentina know how to diagnose patients quickly and refer them to treatment.

Patients and relatives asked many questions about new drugs, treatments and frequency of these meetings. Our nurse coordinator, Mariela Blanco, described the Clinical Trial process and stressed the fact that it is a safe procedure.

Haydee Gonzalez, President of Linfomas Argentina, talked about her own experience as a patient. Gabriel Duarte, a nurse with years of experience in Azacitidine, which he administers to patients in hospitals as well as homes, explained how the drug is prepared and administered.
