After the great polio epidemics in the last century around 700,000 people in Europe are now suffering from late effects of polio. Many survivors have a decreasing functional level because of paralysis, fatigue and pain, and this is a big challenge for polio survivors and the professionals, who are treating them. The European Polio Union wishes with this conference:
