BURTONE: "Norme per il riconoscimento della sindrome post-polio come malattia cronica e invalidante" (1022)

This legislative proposal seeks to formally recognize post-polio syndrome as a chronic and disabling condition. By establishing official standards for recognition, the measure aims to ensure that individuals suffering from the late effects of polio can access appropriate medical care and social support. This primarily affects people who survived polio in the past and are now experiencing a return of symptoms. It would enable them to qualify for disability benefits and specialized health services.
