The Belgian Society of Lymphology was founded in 2015 by a group of people who all had one thing in common: to look after the interests of the patient. In order to be able to help, support and advise a patient in the best possible way, the board of the society consists of a multidisciplinary team in which specialists/surgeons, general practitioners as well as physiotherapists are represented. The core business of the BeSL is scientific research and communicating the results to medical professionals and patients by organising and participating in congresses, symposiums and lectures.
