AGL was founded with the aim of informing, assisting, and collaborating with all individuals affected by the condition, as well as disseminating its knowledge among both public and private entities, in order to prevent the onset of the condition in some cases and to increase the resources available within the public system to mitigate its effects.
AGL was born in response to the need for support, information, and representation for individuals affected by Lymphedema. It is a non-profit organization registered in the Associations Registry of the Galician Autonomous Community, which brings together individuals affected by the condition, their families, and those interested in this pathology. Since April 2018, it also includes Lipedema, Chronic Venous Insufficiency, and other peripheral vascular pathologies.
