Why this CARE4NETHERTON congress?
Netherton Syndrome is a very rare and severe condition for which there is no cure or proper treatment yet. It is time for a change! Last year, we met almost one hundred people online, all suffering from or interested in Netherton Syndrome. We started in making  the difference together with patients, their families and involved professionals as one big group of experts. During the second congress we want to work on a guideline for Netherton syndrome and will define outcome measures for care and research in Netherton syndrome and we call this: CARE4NETHERTON.

Join us!

The congress will be hosted by Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands, which is part of the European Reference Network-SKIN. You’re invited to join online in Zoom.
To organize the congress we are asking a small fee from participants: Patients/parents: € 15,- / Medical students: € 50,- / Professionals: € 150,- / Companies € 1500,- . If you cannot afford this fee, it is possible to join the congress free of charge.
