BREXIT
What does BREXIT means for our federation?
Looking at ANCA Associated Vasculitis we see more PR3-ANCA than MPO-ANCA in the northern european countries while we see the opposite in the southern countries. There are many more Behçet patients in Turkey than in The Netherlands and Takayasu is much more common in Japan than in Europe.
In other words: vasculitis has its own geographical characteristics and it does not care about political borders. And therefore we don't !
Patients in non-EU countries are as dear to us as those in the European Union. We have no political agenda. Whether The United Kingdom is part of the EU or not, we will do everything to support vasculitis in that area and we will collaborate and share information with every single patient support group, hospital or institution able and willing to do so.
But yes, BREXIT does have a certain impact on us. We strongly believe in collaboration and sharing information and we are now more determined than ever to make this federation a succes. Without any political or economic agenda. Showing the world that we are just people trying to help people, collaborating to make us stronger.
