Since the initiation of SWG on Infections in Hematology in 2017, 183 members from 25 countries have joined the group.

The SWG aims at building a clinical trial network on infection in hematology. Thus, all members of the SWG got access to the SiteManagementSystem (https://clinicalsite.org/)

The SWG has uploaded several clinical tool and guidance documents to its EHA SWG website.
