ORGANISING COMMITTEE
Project Board
Le.Gathering World Congress represents the first global event dedicated not just to the venous system of the lower limb, rather to the appropriate holistic management of the whole vein, by connecting together all the healthcare and non-healthcare professionals exposed to its management. Together with this innovative approach, the event includes the historic v-AFRICAct initiative, developing the first Global Congress engaging all the African continent, while acting in conjunction with all the rest of the world, including a dedicated v-HELP (v-WIN Humanitarian Education & Lymphology & Phlebology) mission. Last but not least, following the more than 2024 institutional engagement, Le.Gathering World Congress 2026 looks forward for building other bridges with the highest Governmental and Regulatory Institutions, to make sure the Global Scientific Gathering is translated in real improvements for all the citizens.
