During 2020 and 2021, HAEi held four Virtual Regional Workshops covering the following regions:

  • South Eastern Europe
  • Central Eastern Europe & Benelux
  • South America & Mexico and Central America & the Caribbean
  • The Middle East, North Africa, and Sub Sahara Africa

“Due to the coronavirus pandemic, HAEi continued to bring the community together by transforming its regional workshops into virtual events”, says Fiona Wardman, Chief Regional Patient Advocate, HAEi. “Our Regional Patient Advocates worked with the Member Organizations and the HAEi Operations team in putting together engaging content tailored to the needs of each region.”

The workshops featured video talks by HAEi Leadership, Regional Patient Advocates, expert physicians/scientists, and our member organizations. All the videos were subtitled in English and the languages of the regions. 

“We are delighted with the great success of these virtual regional workshops despite the challenges of not being able to meet in person,” says Fiona Wardman.
