The biggest BLIND SPOT preventing the USA to be competitive with the rest of the world, on the path to a CURE of DIABETES

Dear Secretary Kennedy, it would take one signature to

MAKE AMERICA COMPETITIVE AGAIN

and allow our patients to access islet transplantation in the USA, like in China, France, Canada, while allowing US academic non-profit centers to advance new potentially breakthrough strategies to improve the safety and efficacy of islet transplantation, towards a biologic cure.

Thousands of patients are already benefiting worldwide. Let us help one patient at the time while developing a safe, effective and AFFORDABLE cure for all.

Thank you for Your consideration and thank you Commissioner Makary for writing Blind Spots, a book everyone should read, and an inspiration to write the next chapter on this major BLIND SPOT affecting our patients in the USA.
