International Support

The Gallbladder Cancer Foundation is based in the United States and currently does not have the ability to help international patients find specialists. Though we can’t directly help find an international specialist, we can connect you with Patient Advocacy Groups and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) internationally. These organizations may be able to provide guidance and support in locating a specialist and accessing additional resources in your country.

AMMF – The Cholangiocarcinoma Charity, is a UK based organization that has been dedicated to raising awareness, supporting research and providing information on cholangiocarcinoma for over 20 years. AMMF is also the only UK charity that supports those diagnosed with gallbladder cancer. AMMF works throughout the UK and Europe, and collaborates with organizations throughout the world. The charity has access to health care professionals who specialize in gallbladder cancer and can be a great resource for UK & EU based patients for support and resources.
