We also have exciting news on the chronic urticaria front….our CU Patient Charter was published last week & Victor will be presenting at the upcoming GA2LEN conference in Brazil. We have many opportunities to engage in the new year so mark your calendars and request your visa early to avoid travel issues.

Finally, welcome to our newest members Allergienet (Belgium) and “DAH” (Bosnia & Herzegovina). We know you will bring additional insights and expertise to our GAAPP family!
