EDINBURGH, UK — 14 September 2017

Global biotherapeutics leader CSL Behring today announced that its “Join Together” campaign at the 2017 European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) meeting has resulted in a €15,000 donation to IPOPI, the International Patient Organisation for Primary Immunodeficiencies.

Visitors to CSL Behring’s booth at the ESID exhibition were invited to log their home location on a digital world map. The 4-day conference hosted over 1,600 attendees from 20 countries who, like CSL Behring, are committed to raising awareness of immunodeficiencies.

“As a long-standing partner with IPOPI, CSL Behring is pleased and proud to support patients with this donation,” said Karen MacPhail, Senior Director, Immunology, CSL Behring. “IPOPI’s efforts to raise awareness of immunodeficiencies and improve access aligns closely with our dedication to patient focus.”

“IPOPI relies on donations in fulfilling its commitment to advocate for PID patients around the world,” said Johan Prevot, Executive Director of IPOPI. “CSL Behring’s ongoing support helps enable us to provide programs to improve awareness and care of PID, promote access to treatment and the importance of early diagnosis. We are grateful to all our industry partners who provide, among other resources, donations like this.”
