As we approach World ME Day on 12th May, ANZMES have released a powerful national press statement
As we approach World ME Day on 12th May, ANZMES have released a powerful national press statement calling for people with ME/CFS to be taken seriously, in healthcare, in policy and in everyday life.
This year’s theme “Take ME Seriously” reflects what our community has been saying for decades: ME/CFS is a complex, multi-system illness that requires recognition, accurate diagnosis and appropriate support.
Thousands of New Zealanders are living with ME/CFS, many are facing barriers to care, understanding and support. This campaign is a call to change that to ensure people with ME/CFS are believed, supported and given access to the care they need.
We encourage our community to take a moment to read and share this important release and join us in raising awareness this World ME Day.
