Who are we?
An initiative of the European Federation of Neurological Associations [EFNA] and Pain Alliance Europe.
The MEP interest group focuses on the below themes in an attempt to improve the quality of life of all those living with brain, mind and pain disorders across the EU, as well as their families and carers:
Pain Alliance Europe (PAE) is a Pan- European umbrella organisation of 33 national associations in 16 EU Member States. These organisations represent nearly 400,000 individual chronic pain patients. For PAE, quality of life for a chronic pain patient means giving the patient the right to choose the best possible solutions and support to live his life according to his possibilities.
The European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA) is an umbrella group representing pan-European neurology patient groups. Our slogan ‘Empowering Patient Neurology Groups’ encapsulates our goals as an Association. We strive to add capacity to our Members – allowing them to be the most effective advocates possible in their own disease specific areas. EFNA embraces the concept of Partnership for Progress – working at a high level with relevant stakeholders from the fields of policy, medical, scientific/research, industry, patient partners and other key opinion leaders.
This initiative has been made possible through support from:
Tier 1: Ipsen, Merck, Pfizer, Roche, Teva
Tier 2: Novartis
