Open Letter to Secretary Azar
Today, ME advocates Eileen Holderman and Gabby Klein sent an open letter to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Alex M. Azar II. The letter urges Secretary Azar to implement the International Consensus Criteria (ICC), disseminate the International Consensus Primer (IC Primer), use the name Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and to stop the campaign to implement, disseminate and code systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID).
