With the Online Expert Advice System, patients and physicians can address their specific questions concerning rare respiratory diseases to experts who are specialized and experienced in this field.Providing online second opinions on complex health conditions, makes it unnecessary for the patient to travel long journeys to seek medical advice. Through the Expertise of the ERN-LUNG members, patients can receive input from several highly specialized lung units across Europe on rare lung diseases.
Many patients experience difficulties in receiving health care services in their region or country due to scarce, fragmented and uncoordinated services, which means that they don´t all have equitable access to healthcare services, especially for patients who are suffering rare lung-diseases. The online Expert Advice System offers an opportunity to help patients find reliable information on their individual health issue.
