ALPHA-1 GLOBAL INITIATIVE
During the fourth international Alpha-1 Patient Congress in Barcelona, Spain, in April 2013, Alpha-1 leaders from 20 countries met to share their experiences. The constructive discussions about needs, wishes, successes, and failures reinforced the unanimous decision to remain connected as a collaborative, global patient community.
The Alpha-1 Foundation offered to take the lead and provide resources to create a communication platform for the global Alpha-1 community, with the goal of connecting Alpha-1 organizations and individuals to exchange ideas, strategies, and tools around three themes: awareness, detection, and access to healthcare. The new program was initially called the Alpha-1 Global Initiative, but the name was changed to Alpha-1 Global on June 1, 2014.
