NEOVIDA joins WBCPC community

We are delighted to welcome NEOVIDA an organisation based in Belgium to our Coalition. NEOVIDA becomes the 15th member organisation of the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition.

NEOVIDA, established to support people with bladder cancer and people who had bladder removal surgery. NEOVIDA’s support particularly focuses on aiding people who have a neobladder. The organisations aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by offering comprehensive support and information.

NEOVIDA’s mission is to provide essential support to bladder cancer patients, particularly those with a neobladder. They aim to improve patients’ quality of life by offering practical assistance, fostering a supportive community, and raising awareness about bladder cancer. Their focus includes providing information, psychological support, and advocacy to help patients and their families navigate their journey with bladder cancer.

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition believes that organisations like NEOVIDA play a crucial role in raising local awareness about bladder cancer, advocating for patients’ needs, and offering much-needed peer support and information.

«Welcoming NEOVIDA to our coalition is a special moment as it becomes the first member organisation in the WBCPC home country – Belgium. A volunteer run group that was the first to step up in support of people affected by bladder cancer who have a neobladder. We look forward to a productive partnership of sharing knowledge and capacity building in Belgium and beyond.

Alex Filicevas, Executive Director of the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition

We encourage bladder cancer patients, carers, families, and advocates to join together to improve support, information, and care for people affected by bladder cancer in their communities. This is why we have developed the Start-up guide for bladder cancer patient groups – a step-by-step guide and source of direct inspiration from our members for those ready to start a patient support group in their country.

If you have any questions, would like to learn more, join our coalition, or start your own bladder cancer patient group, email us at info@worldbladdercancer.org.
