Grateful for the opportunity to meet President Gracemarie Bricalli and European ME Alliance (EMEA) reps ahead of #RC74CPH. Non-state partners like #EMEA are crucial in our @WHO_Europe mission to achieve Universal Health Coverage, ensuring no one is left behind.

EMEA's recent survey highlights severe disability levels and unmet needs among ME/CFS patients in Europe, underscoring the urgent need to recognize ME/CFS as a serious physical illness. 

For those unfamiliar, ME/CFS - myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome - is a severe, chronic illness with no effective treatment yet. It causes pain, sensitivity to light and noise, concentration and memory issues, and extreme fatigue, often worsened by exertion. We stand with all those affected and commit to improving their care and support.
