AISED is a non-profit association founded in 2009 with the purpose of listening to and supporting people affected by Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) in their journey to knowledge and acceptance of the disease.
AISED:
• Provides pieces of information about social benefits and rights
• Provides support for healthcare practices
• Raises awareness and knowledge about the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and the hypermobility spectrum disorders
• Is a reference for all of those who need help and comfort
• Guides patients to resources for the management of disorders
• Works with other rare disease associations to promote an inclusive culture of invisible and rare diseases
• Works to build a specialists network for whom people can refer
Until 2018 the association has contributed to support Milano’s Policlinico Hospital, raising money for the genetics laboratory and training a physiotherapist specializing in treatments for EDS. Beyond supporting research and training initiatives, AISED is committed to building a community that brings together people affected by EDS and HSD, giving hope to all of those who are struggling against these disorders.
