SILA - SARCOIDOSIS AND INTERSTITIAL LUNG ASSOCIATIONSILA (Sarcoidosis and Interstitial Lung Association) is a self help
organisation with the following aims. - To raise public awareness, obtaining recognition from Government Bodies to
then make the claiming of benefits a more automatic process.
- To compile statistical information on sarcoidosis sufferers and to share
this with doctors and research institutions to help further research into
finding a cure.
- To provide mutual, practical and emotional support, advice and
encouragement to fellow sufferers making them feel less alone and isolated with
this disease.
- To help promote research, especially in the area of effective treatment and
to identify those mostly at risk.
SILA was established to provide a presence in the South East of England.
Monthly meetings are held at King's College Hospital as well as Awareness Days
and fundraising events. SILA sends out information sheets which include details
of meetings, a description of sarcoidosis, its diagnosis and treatment. A
booklet, So you have Sarcoidosis, is available from SILA. For further
information on sarcoidosis please send a large stamped addressed envelope (with
at least 2 first class stamps) to the above address.
