Melanoma

in  Central and Eastern EuropE

Looking for opportunity.

30th August- 1st September 2019 

​Skopje, Macedonia

A new format! 
With a growing number of active Melanoma patient advocates in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), we would like to replicate the successful concept of our annual Krusenberg MPNEhubs meetings to create an effective platform for advocacy efforts in CEE.

What we are going to do
New treatments are for the first time giving hope to Melanoma patients everywhere.

However, hope is not evenly distributed as patients in Central and Eastern Europe

continue to struggle to access effective prevention, early detection and effective treatments.

We will map the access to the different Melanoma therapies approved in the European Union to identify particular access issues.

​

There will also be plenty of time to share your successful advocacy projects and discuss with colleagues!

MPNCEEhubs 2019 

• will be our first hubs workshop for patient advocates from Central and Eastern Europe and modelled on our Krusenberg workshop series
• will be hands-on weekend: what can we DO? 

So if you are a Melanoma advocate from Central and Eastern Europe or interested in the region understand and speak English well enough to participate in the discussion, please apply!
