Coalition to Prevent Venous Thrombo-Embolism (VTE)
The Coalition to Prevent VTE is a non-profit organization awaiting charitable status. It is a multidisciplinary group of European experts whose objective is to reduce the burden and occurrence of VTE, by raising VTE awareness and by promoting educational programmes and healthcare initiatives among healthcare professionals from the various medical specialties that encounter with patients at risk of VTE. The Coalition intends to reach a broad medical audience with information about its educational programmes and healthcare initiatives, and to educate the public about the significant risk of complications and long-term consequences of VTE.
