Lymphoedema Day: Egypt-Georgia-Italy Teamwork
Monday, 25 May 2020
Egypt, Georgia and Italy celebrated 2020 Lymphedema Day by bringing together venous and lymphatic experts from their respective countries and by organizing joint video educational lectures on the topic of lymphedema.
The teamwork was made possible thanks to the hub role developed by the Egypt Vascular Summit 2020 which was physically held in Alexandria on March 6. Because of the corona virus outbreak, Georgian and Italian delegations have been connected in remote, transforming the difficulty in the opportunity of leaving the recorded talks for future use of both health professionals and population. The presence of top experts from both the Lymphology and Phlebology world allowed to point out the tight bond between the venous and lymphatic world.
