The European Allergy Patient Manifesto is a political declaration comprising six point strategy to counteract the growing prevalence of allergy in Europe and globally, and by doing so, improve the health conditions and quality of life of allergic patients and their families.
It calls for the European institutions, national governments, the scientific community, healthcare professionals and the industry to counteract allergy by:
1. changing the cultural attitudes towards allergy,
2. adapting healthcare systems and resources,
3. understanding the nature of allergy,
4. establishing programmes to train, educate, empower and rehabilitate allergy patients,
5. establishing research programmes and
6. establishing an allergy friendly environment for all.
