Survey on myeloma patient information needs in 12 countries

Myeloma Patients Europe (MPE) has launched a survey for European myeloma patients to understand their information needs. If you are a myeloma patient who has received at least one prior treatment or is currently on their first treatment, MPE would be very grateful if you would take the time to complete the survey. The survey has been developed in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company Amgen and will be run in 12 European countries: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. You can find the country-specific survey links and tranlations in all relevant languages in the link below.
