Regional Discussion Groups on CML

With the mission to improve outcomes for people with CML globally, a core part of the role of the iCMLf is to ensure best practice treatment for people with CML around the world. Since 2010 our programs throughout low- and middle-income countries have expanded access to CML education, networks, and discussions - all of which have improved the way CML is managed. We are delighted to announce a new program – iCMLf Regional Discussions on CML, currently focussed on Africa, Latin America and South Asia. See below for details and links.

Each group is facilitated by both locally and internationally recognised CML experts who host inclusive discussions focused on topics and issues of particular regional relevance. All attending physicians are invited to share cases and be actively involved in discussions, ask questions, and comment freely on the topics at issue.
