LYMPHEDEMA ASSOCIATION OF PORTUGAL - ANDLYMPH - THE PORTUGUESE LYMPHEDEMA ASSOCIATION

On behalf of the Lymphedema Associations of Galicia (AGL), we want to congratulate and welcome the first and newly created Lymphedema Association of Portugal - ANDLYMPH . The organization was created and is directed by Manuela Lourenço Marques, and one of her aims is the development of joint projects with the representative associations of the various Spanish Autonomous Regions. The Portuguese Lymphedema Association has an active blog and website. Already it has recently contacted Spanish, European and International associations and organizations to exchange information and experiences.

Congratulations to this new organization and wish them all the best in their project for the benefit of those affected by lymphedema and lymphatic system disorders.
