Is a registered self-help organization.Our main objective is to stimulate:

We also try to promote awareness for juvenile rheumatic diseases by introducing institutions and individuals to the problems of children with arthritis.

We try to attain our aims by :

• organizing social events
• expert  counselling
• promoting activities in which young patients help each other
• publishing brochures and articles
• taking part in national and international congresses

National Association  of Children with Arthritis is run by patients, parents and professionals and is open to all who are concerned with the welfare of children with arthritis.

Help us and help yourself:

We need to draw public attention to specific subjects of  concern to people with arthritis such as access, community care, social security benefits or prescription charges .

Don’t act like an ostrich!
