01Short answer

Every page is prepared in three languages with the same content. You can switch language with the AZ / RU / EN button at the top of the page, and your choice is remembered. Medical terms are given in the form accepted in each language; in Azerbaijani the leukaemia type abbreviations (ALL, AML, CML, CLL) keep their international form to match doctors’ documents. Russian uses OLL, OML, XML and XLL. The glossary explains terms in all three languages. Sources are often in English.

02Simple explanation

The same content in three languages.

Abbreviations match medical documents.

03Scientific explanation

Getting information in your own language improves understanding and sticking with treatment.

The site aims to follow web accessibility guidelines (WCAG): each page’s language is marked, headings are clear and text is readable.
