Almost 1.3 million of people worldwide are living with a dysimmune inflammatory neuropathy (DIN).
Dysimmune-inflammatory neuropathies (DIN) are rare diseases still poorly understood, although they are potentially treatable.
To find new treatments, research is essential.
Some treatments, already known and very useful to maintain the physical autonomy of the patients, suffer from shortages almost everywhere in the world. Sometimes they are not accessible to patients at all.
Each 11June will be now be the WORLD DIN DAY, a day to make the public and decision makers aware of the existence of dysimmune and inflammatory neuropathies (CIDP, MMN, LSS, MGUS Anti-MAG, GBS, MFS…) and their burden on patients and their families. This day is also a great opportunity for all patient organizations around the world to gather around a common date and to bring the voice of patients to improve diagnostic management, access to care and more generally to improve the health-related quality of life for people suffering from DIN. Finally, this day offers the opportunity to ask health authorities and public decision-makers on the way people living with DIN are considered in each country.
