Collaboration ALK Positive Belgium & Prolong

APB News and Advocacy

Dear members and sympathizers,

Prolong is a peer organization of and for people with lung cancer or lung cancer, which strives for an environment in which people have the opportunity to live a life full of meaning and quality after their diagnosis. With a focus on psychosocial support, empowerment and awareness, Prolong wants to make a difference for everyone affected by this condition, both patients and loved ones.

ALK Positive Belgium is committed to people with ALK-positive lung cancer and their loved ones. The organisation was founded by patients and their relatives to provide support, represent the interests and improve the quality of life of people with ALK+ lung cancer in Belgium. By sharing knowledge, connecting patients, and advocating together for access to innovative treatments, we are building a future where hope and science go hand in hand.

After several mutual contacts, we are convinced of the potential added value of far-reaching cooperation between the two organizations, possibly leading to integration.

Why this collaboration?
After all, our organisations share a common vision: to support, inform, connect and give patients a voice that is heard.

By working together, we want to:

  • Strengthening each other in reaching more people who need our help and support.
  • Sharing our expertise to improve the quality of life of patients.
  • Being advocates together for positive change within the health landscape

What does this mean for you?
By formalizing our collaboration, we will be able to organize joint activities in the future, in addition to the existing activities of Prolong and ALK Positive Belgium. Launching initiatives together and keeping our members and sympathizers regularly informed of interesting evolutions.

We look forward to working with you to increase the impact of our association. Do you have questions, ideas or would you like to know more about this collaboration?

Feel free to contact us.

With warm regards,

Het ALK Positive Belgium en Prolong-team
