About Lymevereniging

The Lyme Association is committed to providing information, advocating for interests, and facilitating peer support for its members. Individual questions from members are answered as effectively as possible or referred to designated institutions. Where necessary and possible, the Lyme Association will actively support people in this. Understanding for Lyme disease patients is still limited. Therefore, the Lyme Association will do everything possible to improve medical and social care for Lyme disease patients and to warn about the risks of Lyme infections. In addition, the association strives for reliable diagnoses and effective treatments, for which an expansion of research is necessary. The Lyme Association advocates for increased financial resources for scientific research and seeks broad support for this among other stakeholders. The association also draws attention to Lyme disease issues at the local, regional, and national levels through information and other forms of influence. The Lyme Association monitors political developments and seeks to influence them where possible.
