In Lubljana on May 7, neurologists, policy makers, and patients' groups came together for a roundtable discussion organised by the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform (EMSP) concerning pan-European inequalities in access to treatments for people with MS. The results of the pan-European MS Barometer study were presented and discussed among high level representatives from the EU institutions, Slovenian government and the medical profession.
The study reveals the situation faced by people with MS across Europe in seven key areas, including inequalities in access to therapies and treatment. The discussion centred upon the identification and implementation of best practices in this area, as well as initiatives to raise awareness of the severity of the inequities faced by people with MS in different Member states, and to emphasise the pressing need to address such health inequalities at the EU level.
