The GA2LEN | HAEi ACARE network is a joint initiative by GA²LEN, the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network, and HAEi, the global umbrella organization for the world’s hereditary angioedema patient groups.

-
provide excellence in angioedema management
-
increase the knowledge of angioedema by research and education
-
promote the awareness of angioedema by advocacy activities.
-
broaden access to modern HAE medicines in countries where they are available
-

Increase of the quality of life and information exchange worldwide
