Petition Raise the awareness of Post-Polio Syndrome within the Medical Profession
Polio Survivors are still here
Thousands of Polio Survivors living in the UK have no access to professional medical support because there is so little known about the challenges being faced with one of the most devastating debilitating neurodegenerative condition in the world, Post-Polio Syndrome.
More details
Non-motor symptoms of PPS have considerable quality of life implications and are notoriously challenging to manage, and yet very few Medical Professionals have even a slight knowledge of Polio, and even less of PPS.
Help us to enlighten every Medical Professional, Health and Social Care Authority, and Government to the challenges faced by Polio Survivors in the UK, and further, empower every Polio Survivor to have access to Appropriate and Professional Medical, Welfare, and Social Support
