The European Parliament adopted a declaration signed
by 408 Members on tackling multiple schlerosis in
Europe.
It recalls that approximately 600 000 Europeans suffer
from multiple schlerosis (MS) which is the most common
neurodegenerative disorder and is a major cause of non-traumatic
disability in young adults. Most people with MS are
diagnosed in the prime of their working lives, and almost half
leave the workforce within three years of diagnosis.
Given that in
Europe tremendous discrepancies in access to disease-modifying
treatments and quality of care exist, Parliament calls on the
Commission and the Council to:
- encourage, within
the framework of Horizon 2020, closer scientific collaboration and
comparative research on MS;
- promote, in their
Reflection Process on Chronic Disease, equal access to treatment
and flexible employment policies for people with chronic
neurological disorders such as MS.
It also calls on the Member States to enhance equal
access to quality care, for example, by using certified
educational training tools (such as MS Nurse
Professional) to develop, standardise and benchmark
specialist nursing staff training, as well as to support the
European Register for MS by encouraging patient data collection at
national level.
