Project Description

The “Recommendations to achieve a mature ERN system by 2030” have been developed by EURORDIS, their member organisations and ERN ePAG patient advocates. EURORDIS has played a critical role in amplifying the patient voice and creating the conditions for engagement within ERNs so that their activities remain driven by patients’ needs. Their vision is for a mature European Reference Network (ERN) system that leaves no person living with a rare disease in uncertainty regarding their diagnosis, care and treatment.

The paper, and the accompanying Policy Brief, reviews progress achieved so far and presents EURORDIS’ vision of a mature ERN system. It calls for patient organisations and experts to unify within the Networks, and for ERNs to be embedded within healthcare systems across the European Union.
