What should health professionals and families know about lymphedema in children and young adults?

The National Children's Lymphoedema Service in Wales has been very successful over the last six years. Learn more about this program and how it can provide insight into creating more programs like this around the world and what health professionals need to know to gain more education on this subject.

Clinicians, patients, and families are strongly encouraged to watch. Many parents struggle to find clinicians who will treat pediatric lymphedema. As patients and families, we can advocate for everyone including children and young people.
