From Regional Patient Advocate Michal Rutkowski:
Georgia is a recent addition to the HAE International family, becoming a member in late October. The driving HAE force is Professor Maia Gotua from the Allergy & Immunology Center in Tbilisi, who looks after many patients with HAE. Maia Goyua puts lots of effort to finally having HAE therapies approved in the country, and she raises awareness about the disease among the physicians’ community. To diagnose more patients, her center participates in the clinical study with the potential effective diagnostic method called ‘dry blood test’. Due to her engagement, the HAE patients’ organization was established, and David Ramazashvili became head of the organization. Both patients and physicians from Georgia will attend the 2020 HAE Global Conference.
