Gemeinsam gegen Meningokokken

http://www.gemeinsam-gegen-meningokokken.de/
Due to the nature of the patients our focus is on bacterial meningitis. Since the disease is more or less unknown to the German public, the organization will concentrate on “education”. Education refers here to the general public, as well as professionals in the medical business. This could happen via brochures, events, campaigns, etc.

Apart from that the group will be a big “family”, where everybody whose life has been affected by meningitis is welcome and helped (e.g.: how to cope with the after-effects as a family, where can I get professional help). What the families really need is someone to listen and someone to give them a helping hand.
