Banner of the 5th SMA Congress - Scientific International Congress on Spinal Muscular Atrophy

SMA EUROPE

SMA Europe is a non-profit umbrella organisation of 30 spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patient organisations from 28 European countries. We work to bring effective treatments and optimal care to everyone living with SMA.

Our members are national patient organisations, led by people living with SMA and their families, who put the voice of those living with SMA at the heart of everything they do. They advocate and campaign at the national level while also engaging and influencing all stakeholders and decisions at the European level, through SMA Europe.

Together, through greater understanding, we will create a better world for all those living with SMA.

We work to bring breakthrough research, effective treatments and optimal care to everyone living with SMA.

All together. One goal.

SMA Europe aims to:

  • Represent the interests of people with SMA among all stakeholders in European health policy

  • Develop a strong evidence base for the needs and wants of patients and their role in research

  • Support, stimulate and promote patient-relevant research, drug development and clinical trials

  • Ensure patients across Europe receive timely and continuous access to diagnosis, treatment and care

  • Communicate and promote comprehensive quality information about SMA among all relevant stakeholders

  • Provide quality information, educational and outreach programmes to member organisations, including knowledge transfer, information exchange and best practices with and among member organisations

  • Collaborate on projects for the benefit of the SMA community, also on a global level

  • Build and maintain a responsible, sustainable and impactful organisation with one, unified, goal.
