<p>Why do we struggle gaining recognition from patients and healthcare systems about the importance of the early detection of signs of lymphatic system failure, when we have tools available to do this? Why do we struggle getting funds for lymphoedema screening programmes, when we have strong indications they work? Why do we struggle with a serious lack of knowledge in the healthcare professional population when it comes to lymphoedema? Why do we see apparently contradictory outcomes reported in the literature in trials, systemic reviews and meta-analyses? Why don’t our healthcare systems seem to care ? So many questions.</p>
