The proposal to set up an ERN for rare and complex urogenital diseases and conditions (eUROGEN), developed by the EAU in close partnership with all national European urological societies, has successfully passed the first evaluation stage by the European Commission. Five years since the publication of the Directive on the Application of Patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare (Directive 2011/24/EU), the ERN concept is finally becoming a reality.
eUROGEN aims to improve diagnosis, create more equitable access to high quality treatment and care for patients with rare urogenital diseases and complex conditions needing highly specialised surgery. |
