There is only one patient support group in The Netherlands: the Vasculitis Stichting (Vasculitis Foundation).
They concentrate on primary forms of vasculitis as defined by the Chapel Hill classification and with 1200 members they cover about 35% of the Dutch vasculitis population.
There are no other patient support groups concentrating on one of the specific forms of vasculitis. It is a small country and that the government only provides a financial grant to one support group per (group of) disease(s).
