Similar to last year, patients may participate in our rheumatology patient group meeting happening on February 16, 2018 (Friday) starting at 1 PM. Pre-registration should be done with our PRA secretariat prior to the said date as we can only accommodate a limited number of participants. No registration fee will be charged to accepted patients. But unfortunately, we’ll have to charge for accompanying persons.

- 1300H Legislation for Rheumatic Diseases: How Did PsorPhil Do It? (Speaker: Mr. Paul Albert Mendoza)
