EMEC has become a member of the World ME Alliance, a collaboration of ME/CFS organizations that advocates for ME/CFS patients around the world.
The World ME Alliance aims to share experiences among ME/CFS associations, coordinate global awareness campaigns, and encourage the World Health Organization to take action on ME/CFS. Major organizations such as ME Action, Solve ME/CFS Initiative and Action for ME are founding members. The World ME Alliance also has members from South Africa, Spain, Canada, and New Zealand. More information about the alliance can be found on their website.
EMEC is happy to become part of this alliance. This will keep us informed about what is going on internationally and allow us to strengthen our advocacy for ME/CFS patients at the European level. We hope that the World ME Alliance will be able to force a worldwide breakthrough in the recognition of and scientific research into ME/CFS.
