The 1st Portuguese Lymphedema Scientific
Congress was a big success. It was attended by more than a 100 health
professionals and public from all over Portugal, and the presentation was pre-registered
to full capacity. This was a comprehensive one-day conference presented in an
academic setting, and organized by the ANDLINFA- The Portuguese Lymphedema
Association. The congress agenda featured a distinguished faculty, headed by leading
authority on treatment for lymphatic disorders.
This was a big step forward for health workers and
therapists treating Lymphedema, as this is really the first time they have all
had a chance to meet together like this. It was a day of education that will
help to create a network of professionals working with this disease, and
ultimately this will lead to higher recognition and better management of
Lymphedema in Portugal, which is the goal of the Association.
This first scientific congress was well-received, and speakers and
participants all alike, stated looking forward to a new future event.
