New Scientific Council: “It is important that the voice of sick people be heard”

Until now, only the name of its president, the immunologist Brigitte Autran, was known. But this Thursday, September 29, the composition of the new committee for monitoring and anticipating health risks (Covars) was published in the Official Journal. Yvanie Caillé, who sits there in particular alongside experts and scientists such as infectious disease specialist Xavier Lescure, emergency doctor Julie Contenti or epidemiology specialist Rémy Slama, represents patients and the associative world. Kidney disease since childhood and currently transplanted, she founded first a blog and then a very active patient association, Renaloo. Its leitmotif: that the most vulnerable can express themselves.
