From Vice President Nicole Hodler, HAE Schweiz

Unfortunately, also we at the Swiss HAE organization had to cancel our June meeting due to coronavirus COVID-19. We are still evaluating the possibility of proceeding with this meeting in November 2020 instead.

In the Sunday newspaper from 16 February 2020, an article was published with the title “Strange Swellings” under the theme “How the rare disease hereditary angioedema (HAE) can be recognized and treated earlier.” In the article, HAE is described as an unpredictable and dangerous disorder. Dr. Heinz Hengartner shares information about the new long-term prophylactic treatments that show promising results. A female patient is thankful and happy that she finally can live her life without HAE attacks. The article can be read at hae-vereinigung.ch (in German).

For hae day :-) 2020 we sent this flower to our members. We hope that the flower will follow our members, as it transforms into a shopping bag.
