Mrs. Francisca Gutiérrez. President of the Spanish association ASQUIFYDE and member of the (Spain’s) National Committee for the Recognition of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome.
Jaume Cortés opens the intervention by raising some basic questions to address the issue of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and Electrohipersensibility (EHS).
a) MCS and EHS are real health problems.
b) There is evidence to confirm this statement:
- Medical diagnostics.
- Reports of work inspections establishing causality between exposure and disease.
- There are scientific studies that confirm its existence.
- There is a recognition by the European Parliament of these diseases, evidence that is provided in the dossier presented today.
- There are 200 judgments in favor in Spain that support this evidence.
- We are getting in Spain (economic) ‘compensation’ for patients.
c) We need to include these illnesses in the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD), because what makes it more difficult for legal recognition is precisely the lack of code for these diseases in the ICD.
Then, Dr. Julián Márquez intervened, expressing how one of the problems faced by patients is the lack of understanding of the medical staff because these pathologies are little known or are unknown.
