The purpose of the WAO HAE International Alliance is to be a global resource of educational and research activities, increase awareness of the disease, and highlight and encourage HAE research. The immediate goal of this Alliance is to develop and disseminate a WAO “HAE International Consensus Document.” This Consensus Document will provide credible, evidence-based information for physicians and other health care professionals around the world to have ease-of-access to relevant scientific and clinical data on HAE, as well as to differential diagnosis and treatment. The document will be an in-depth, state of the art resource that refers to and summarizes existing guidelines and recommendations, synthesizing information where necessary.

The work of the Alliance is guided by the Steering Committee, which is made up of experts representing the official WAO regions of the world. The Steering Committee works with a larger global group.
