Insurance & Legislative Internship with a Right to Be Forgotten Project

Organisation Description:

This NGO is a worldwide network of patient groups with a full or partial focus on supporting patients with lymphoma; it was formed in 2002 and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 2010. The need for a central hub of consistent and reliable current information and the need for lymphoma patient organizations to share resources, best practices, and policies and procedures was recognized.

This NGO’s current strategy is focused on ensuring impact within two pillars: information and advocacy.
