It will address, among other things, questions surrounding the symptoms and causes of the disease. He will also discuss aspects related to the progression of this disease.

The ADMR federation will present the new service entitled “Bulle d’Air” which it has been deploying with the support of the MSA in the Aveyron department since the end of 2021.
