Care budget proposal
For these reasons, GroenLinks MP Ellemeet will submit a proposal for more recognition and research into the disease tomorrow during the debate on the healthcare budget. Ellemeet hopes that more research can solve problems surrounding the disease. She is also hopeful that, just like in France, it will be recognized as a public disease. “If you know that it exists, then you are also in a stronger position with the doctor,” says Ellemeet.
Recognize and recognize
Nap agrees with the statement that knowledge among women about the disease is important. According to Nap, GPs are not lacking in knowledge, but recognizing and recognizing them is still a problem. This is because the complaints can be diverse. “To really drop the penny that someone can have endometriosis, awareness among general practitioners and gynaecologists will also have to be improved.”
