European ME Coalition fact sheets
The European ME Coalition (EMEC) presents three new fact sheets about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The documents briefly summarize key facts about the economic and societal impact of ME/CFS in Europe and the recent efforts made by ME/CFS advocates including the petition submitted by Evelien Van Den Brink. The fact sheets will help to inform politicians and key policymakers about the need for biomedical research on ME/CFS in Europe.
The three fact sheets focus on separate topics.
One longer document provides basic information in a plain text format and is supported by ample scientific references. It forms an ideal starting point for anyone who wants to learn more about ME/CFS in Europe.
A second document is shorter and focuses on key figures. With its simple formatting and pictograms, it will be most helpful to those who want a brief overview (or who are simply bad at memorizing numbers).
A third document focuses on recommendations to Member States made in the recently adopted European ME/CFS resolution.
