As part of our commitment to improving outcomes for people living with rare neurological diseases, we are proud that our work with European Federation of Neurological Associations and other global stakeholders has enabled the development of The Rare Neurology Charter. These disorders are currently the third leading cause of disability and premature death, and as the EU moves into a new legislative term, we look forward to the opportunity to address the needs of the estimated 500,000+ people living with rare neurological disorders in Europe. Sign the Call to Action today and show your support for the development of action plans to aid EU policy change for rare neurological diseases: http://spr.ly/6046codUr
