<p>In November 2004, as a result of meetings and discussions held over 10 years, the Israeli Lymphedema Association (ILA) was established by the Tel Aviv Lymphedema Patients’ Support Group, and registered in Israel. The ILA is a non-profit organisation that promotes knowledge and increases awareness about lymphoedema among patients and healthcare professionals in Israel. The ILA members work on a voluntary basis and include lymphoedema patients, their families, lymphoedema physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals and interested parties.</p>
