Equity for people living with a rare disease - February 28th is Rare Disease Day!
February 2021 - Today we join many other organizations supporting rare diseases and patients all over the world to raise awareness for rare diseases and their impact on patients lives.
There are over 300 million people living with a rare disease worldwide. Access to appropriate monitoring and treatment is still especially challenging in low- and middle-income countries.
CML is a rare condition and we will continue to improve access to treatment and care for patients affected by CML all over the world through our programs for physicians from the emerging regions and through our online education.

This annual prize awarded by the International CML Foundation recognises outstanding contributions to the understanding of the biology of CML. Sue is a leading international authority on molecular monitoring for CML and a major contributor to international collaborative initiatives to establish guidelines and recommendations for producing reliable molecular data.
The 2021 Goldman Prize is awarded to Professor Giuseppe Saglio

The 2021 iCMLf Prize is awarded to Dr Damira Bayzakova from Kyrgyzstan
February 2021 - The iCMLf Directors and Advisors have selected Dr Damira Bayzakova, a pediatric oncologist from the National Center of Oncology in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) as the 2021 iCMLf Prize winner. Dr Bayzakova has been awarded the prize posthumously for her efforts that greatly improved the monitoring and treatment of CML in Kyrgyzstan and to recognize her work and legacy. The iCMLf Prize recognizes outstanding contributions to the improvement of CML under the challenging conditions of low- and middle-income countries with unequal access to monitoring and access.
“Dr. Bayzakova was a CML specialist from Kyrgyzstan who tragically passed away in November 2020, due to complications of COVID-19. She dedicated her life to her patients and through her efforts greatly improved the treatment of CML in her country.” Pat Garcia-Gonzales, CEO, The Max Foundation
Create a future without cancer - February 4 is World Cancer Day
February 2021 - Today is World Cancer Day. I Am and I Will.
WE ARE a global Foundation with the mission to improve the outcomes of patients with CML globally and WE WILL be working towards a cure for CML.
"There are currently estimated to be over 800,000 CML patients globally. CML is predicted to become the most prevalent leukaemia by 2040 when there are projected to be over 3 million patients worldwide. A concerted global effort working towards a cure is imperative.
The iCMLf is uniquely positioned to drive this effort.”
(Tim Hughes, iCMLf Chairman)
Let’s create a future without CML. The time to act is now.
