TRANSLIT helps SMA Family Foundation

In November, Ekaterinburg hosted the SMA School for healthcare providers and patients diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy. Five world-class specialists from Italy and Great Britain came as guest speakers. They shared their experience, told about methods and patient care provided to children with SMA in Europe.

Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disease; there is no specific cure for SMA. The School founder — the SMA Family Foundation — is comprised of 650 families diagnosed with SMA. They need consistent support and assistance, including the access to information and the best world experience.

The foreign specialists needed professional interpreting from Italian and English. Our interpreters took part in lectures and meetings with patients as volunteers.
