These women, who for a long time were considered to be unaffected by the disease, are now recognised as patients in their own right. However, there is very little information and research about their situation. These women, in addition to being sick, are often mothers to a sick child, and give priority to caring for their child, to the detriment of their own medical care. ELA would like the community of experts to look into their case.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion of Giving Tuesday, International Donation Day on December 3, ELA launched an appeal for generosity to fund this new clinical trial. We are now at the initial phase of the first treatments thanks to the hopes generated by several initial clinical trials on sick children and adults.<\/p>\n<p>We owe these tremendous advances to our donors, as ELA finances all its actions exclusively through donations.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":22014,"parent":0,"template":"","news_categories":[97],"class_list":["post-22012","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_categories-international-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
