Diagnoza leukemie is a well-established and vocal patient support organisation known for its strong international connection, implementing and modifying best practices and inspiration from the European and global patient communities, into the Czech patient advocacy. On individual basis, they have succeeded in providing access to therapy even for acute leukemia patients.
