Date: 3rd-4th April 2024

Location: FLAD Luso American Development Foundation, Lisbon

This event, the first in Portugal, will gath- er leading scientists, clinicians, and inter- national experts to share and discuss the latest biomedical evidence and findings on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and the nexus between Long COVID and ME/CFS.

ME/CFS remains underrecognized in everyday clinical practice. ME/CFS is a complex condition, often with multiple overlapping comorbidities, and a therapeutic challenge in clinical medicine today given its under di- agnosis, poor prognosis, limited therapeutic options, and substantial burden on the health care system.

There is a critical need to accurately diagnose ME/CFS to permit timely implementation of evidence- and guideline-based therapies to improve patient outcomes in Portugal.

The conference is aimed medical professionals and people with ME, their carers, relatives, and allies as well as representa- tives from politics, research and the media, along with the general public. All symposium presentations, the list of speakers and registration information will be available on the conference website.
