Medical guidelines
ME
There exists no medical guidance for ME in The Netherlands. In 2015, the Dutch Parliament assigned the Dutch Health Council to advise on ME. However, the council decided to advise on ME/CFS instead, recommending that the criteria for Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID) be adopted.[1][2] The switch was met with heavy criticism.[1] According to the ME Vereniging Nederland, in the absence of guidance specific to ME, the guideline for acquired brain injury should be followed.[3]
CFS
The Dutch Health Council produced advice on CFS in 2005.[4] In February 2013, a basic medical guideline on CFS was published by CBO (in Dutch).[5]
