France Lyme is the main French patient association on Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.<\/p>\n

France Lyme was created in 2008 as a national non-profit association dedicated to addressing tick-borne diseases, especially Lyme disease. It is recognised as being of general interest and is accredited by the French Ministry of Health. The association is also a member of France Assos Sant\u00e9 and is routinely consulted by health authorities on matters related to tick-borne diseases. France Lyme brings together thousands of supporters and local sections across France.<\/p>\n

The organisation has four main missions:
\n\u2022 To listen to and support people affected by tick-borne diseases by providing clear, up-to-date information on care pathways, patient rights and available resources, and by offering regular opportunities to share experiences, whether in person or online.
\n\u2022 To inform the public and relevant professionals about tick-borne diseases and prevention, through communication materials, awareness campaigns, and scientific monitoring.
\n\u2022 To foster research and knowledge on chronic forms of Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses, and to contribute to broader health discussions and collaborations.
\n\u2022 To represent the collective voice of patients, raising their concerns with government bodies, health institutions, elected officials and regional health agencies, and advocating for improved care, recognition and policies.<\/p>\n

France Lyme\u2019s work aims to increase understanding of tick-borne diseases, support those affected, and promote better prevention, care and public health responses across France.<\/p>\n

We are in touch with several foreign non-profit organizations around the world.<\/p>\n
