Regional Branches
The Irish Haemochromatosis Association is keen to establish regional branches of our association. As the number being diagnosed increases due to genetic testing and greater awareness, it is vital to have support close at hand if it is required.
Furthermore, regional branches are also a necessary means of increasing awareness of haemochromatosis amongst the medical profession and the public at large.
Regional branches are already forming in Monaghan, Limerick and Cork.
To contact one of these branches or to start a regional branch in your own area, please contact Margaret Mullett at Ph: 01-4922705 or by email margaretmullett@ireland.com

To date a total of 223 posters were mailed to GP within the area advising them of the existence and the contact details of the support group.
