ME in Europe

The following information was collated by the European ME Clinicians Council (EMECC) - a network of European clinicians with experience and expertise in treating and diagnosing patients with myalgic encephalomyeltis (ME).

The EMECC network is gradually growing as knowledgeable clinicians come together to improve the way that myalgic encephalomyelitis is treated and to improve the quality of life for patients with this disease.
The countries with members currently include the following.
