EHC von Willebrand Disease (VWD) Working Group (WG) is happy to open the call for Ambassador nominations for its 2023 Ambassador Acceleration Programme ‘Make a change’.
Over the past few years, the EHC has focussed on raising awareness of von Willebrand Disease across Europe. Our work as a group has recently focused on the co-creation of a set of strategic objectives that will both raise awareness of VWD and work for better access to care for those affected by the condition. To complete our ambitious plans, we are reaching out to our NMO colleagues to invite them to join us on this exciting journey.
To know more, please reach out to the EHC VWD WG at vwd@ehc.eu.
We look forward to hearing from you!
