LAOSA ANNUAL REPORT

LAOSA is a South African non-profit (164-391 NPO) organisation for professional individuals interested in lymphoedema treatment, as well as research and training in lymphology and lymphoedema. We strive to promote access to complete Lymphoedema care in the public and private healthcare sectors. We provide the public, medical colleagues and third party payors with a National Practice Register of those qualified to treat Lymphoedema in order to ensure standards of care in the field of Lymphoedema are upheld. LAOSA engages regularly with Medical Aids and Third Party Payors to improve the reimbursement for treatment.
