hae day :-)

On the occasion of the annual hae day :-) on 16 May, we surprise our HAE members and our HAE network with a gift and a corresponding card. In addition, we publish a report on HAE in specialist magazines, newspapers, the Internet or social media to raise awareness of HAE.

HAE newsletter

We use the annual HAE newsletter to inform our HAE members and our HAE network about the latest in connection with HAE.

What support/ resources have you used from HAEi? What has HAEi helped you to achieve?

We are very proud that a delegation of Swiss HAE patients was allowed to take part in the biannual international HAEi global conference and they were able to make many interesting contacts from all over the world and are still in touch today.

Your Next Step… What do you want to achieve for people with HAE in your country by 2030?

We hope that by 2030, those affected by HAE will be able to receive a faster HAE diagnosis and that all Swiss HAE patients will become members of the HAE Switzerland, so we can get new HAE information to all relevant people as quickly as possible.
