Many patients go for years trying to get a diagnosis, never having contact with anyone who understands what it is like living with this condition.

At HAE South Africa, we understand the physical and emotional impact of living with this disorder and we are here to support you along this journey.

Who are we?

Who are we?

HAE S.A. is a non-profit advocacy group for patients with HAE and their families. Our organisation was established by a small group of patients and caregivers in 2016.


We work closely with physicians and researchers equally committed to raising awareness, improving time to diagnosis, and advocating for better treatment options. We empower our patients and the medical community through education, and provide emotional and personal support for patients and caregivers.
