Practical advice to help you take control of your health.
Sjögren Europe
Sjögren Europe is a European federation of national associations representing Sjögren’s patients. Its purpose is to get more visibility, attention and solutions for Sjögren’s by promoting the advancement of knowledge, research, information, treatment and care, by fostering patient involvement and participation in the scientific research, medical, health and political institutions, pharmaceutical industry and social areas, and by increasing awareness about Sjögren’s at all levels.
Sjögren’s is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the entire body. Along with symptoms of extensive dryness, other serious complications include profound fatigue, chronic pain, major organ involvement, neuropathies and lymphomas.
This e-leaflet has been realised and published in 2021 with the help of unrestricted grants from SERVIER, NOVARTIS and NORGINE. Sjögren Europe strictly follows the EFPIA code. Sjögren Europe and the content of the e-leaflet are totally independent from these companies.
Sjögren Europe
Sjögren Europe was created in February 2019 by the patient organisations of Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the support of the informal association of Belgium. The headquarters of Sjögren Europe are in Switzerland and the first General Assembly was held in Madrid in June 2019 during the EULAR congress where Sjögren Europe was officially introduced to the rheumatology community.
