Our missions
The goal of France Lipoedème
Our scientific research association dedicated to lipedema is committed to improving the understanding, prevention, and treatment of this little-known condition. Here is a detailed overview of our mission:
Collection of data and testimonials
We are working to gather data, statistics, personal experiences, and testimonials about lipedema. This data collection is essential to better understand the condition and its impacts, both on an individual and a collective level.
Public Awareness and Education
Informing patients and healthcare professionals is one of our top priorities. We aim to raise awareness and educate all these stakeholders about lipedema in order to improve the recognition and management of this condition.
Prevention and early diagnosis
We are working to prevent lipedema by promoting early diagnosis. Our efforts are aimed at both the general public and healthcare professionals, with the goal of increasing awareness and facilitating early detection of this condition.
Promotion of prevention methods and therapies
Promoting various methods of prevention, care, and treatment (whether preventive or curative) is at the heart of our mission. We seek to improve the physical and mental health of people affected by lipedema by promoting access to appropriate and innovative treatments. This includes writing and sharing research articles, publishing and distributing newsletters, and using our website to reach a wide audience.
Support for therapeutic research
We are committed to providing reliable and up-to-date educational resources on lipedema. Our website, publications, and educational materials are designed to serve as valuable tools for healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public. By sharing accurate and accessible information, we aim to address the lack of knowledge surrounding this condition.
Raising awareness among government officials
It is crucial to inform and raise awareness among public authorities, healthcare organizations, and health insurance providers (including supplemental plans) about the unique nature and consequences of lipedema. We advocate for greater recognition and better management of this condition by public, mutual, and private healthcare providers.
Active support for those affected
We actively support people affected by lipedema. Our goal is to facilitate the exchange of information to help them better understand and manage the condition, provide them with assistance, and advocate for their interests.
Our organization primarily serves healthcare professionals, but we also work closely with patients and the general public to advance the cause of lipedema. Join us in this vital mission to make a difference in the lives of those affected by lipedema.
