Yesterday the Norwegian prime minister published a blog post on ME: "
These patients deserve to be taken seriously".
She says ME is a tough illness. Researchers know little about long term fatigue conditions. People with these conditions must be taken seriously.
She has worked for increased knowledge, allocated funds in order to develop better care, asked the Research Council to support research on ME and supported the RituxME-trial.
She also mentions the upcoming Invest in ME-conference in June.
The government will prioritise:
- national and international research
- interaction regarding care
- easier access for financial support for families caring for children with severe ME
Pretty cool to have a prime minister blogging about ME. I think that's a first..
