Newly Announced International Alliance for PID
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) October 18, 2016 -- The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) announces a partnership with four international societies focused on primary immunodeficiency representing the five major continents. Together they have formed the International Alliance for Primary Immunodeficiency Societies (IAPIDS).
The agreement made by the Asia-Pacific Society of Immunodeficiencies (APSID), African Society for Immunodeficiencies (ASID), European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID), the Latin American Society for Immunodeficiencies (LASID), as well as the CIS was signed and announced at the ESID Annual Meeting in Barcelona, Spain on September 21, 2016.
“The creation of the Alliance is an extraordinary accomplishment in global collaboration that only serves to further the mission of all of its members with the ultimate goal of promoting excellence in patient care,” said CIS President Jordan Orange, MD, PhD.
The IAPIDS exists to advance the member professional societies in education of those engaged in the care of PID patients and promote member societies in disseminating and advancing the basic, translational and clinical science of PID and related knowledge all in the name of advancing the well-being and care of patients affected by PID and related conditions.
