This applies for budgets for health care, number of beds for a particular disease group, overall budget for a discipline within a hospital, budgets for out- or inpatients care, but also percentage of research money which goes into particular fields of medical research. Also, the general public counts on these measures because mortality, morbidity and costs of disease are important to determine the importance of a disease group and usually, the higher the numbers the more important is the disease.

These volunteers represent some of the best and brightest neurologists and are knowledgeable on the hundreds of neurologic diseases encountered in clinical practice by our members.
