– Comprehensive help, advice and support for people with congenital immune defects.
– Educating the public about the topic of “congenital immunodeficiencies”.
– Raising awareness and training of doctors for the earliest possible diagnosis and appropriate treatment of all those affected.
– Ensuring comprehensive medical care for patients with congenital immunodeficiency.

– Reducing costs in healthcare by avoiding expensive incorrect therapies
– Continuous collaboration with research, medicine, healthcare and politics, (Milestone 2019: Introduction of newborn screening to detect severe congenital immune defects)

AMRI Onlus is a voluntary association that works in favor of children suffering from childhood rheumatic diseases. AMRI was born in 1992 at the San Matteo Polyclinic in Pavia by a promoting group made up of parents and doctors. Since June 2002, volunteers have been working at the G. Gaslini Institute in Genoa. The volunteers, with the help of some collaborators, support families and children with economic aid, social and health assistance, and the promotion of scientific research. And again, they manage five apartments in the immediate vicinity of the hospital, rented by the association to host those parents who, having to stay in the hospital for a long period, avoid the search for accommodation that is not always adequate and generally very expensive. The volunteers also organize meetings, fundraisers, conferences, raising awareness among public opinion, institutional bodies and health facilities on the serious problems that rheumatic diseases represent for children and to obtain everything that is necessary to lead a normal social life. AMRI volunteers then make a psychologist and psychotherapist available to the department who supports, in particular, parents in dealing with the emotional impact that the illness has on both the child and the family.
