Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: MEPs call for more funds for research into complex illness
- An estimate of 2 million Europeans affected by the disease
- ME/CFS is still poorly understood and consequently, underdiagnosed
- Increasing awareness is crucial to advance recognition of the illness and to improve lives of patients
Parliament wants to increase EU funding in order to advance research on diagnostic tests and treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
In a resolution adopted on Wednesday with 676 votes in favour, 4 against and 8 abstentions, the European Parliament calls for additional EU funding for research on ME/CFS and the prioritisation of projects focused on biomedical research.
This comes after Parliament has received a number of petitions raising concerns over the absence of treatment and insufficient funding for research related to the disease that affects an estimate of 2 million people within the EU.
