Every patient is entitled to the best care.

With approximately 600 different neuromuscular diseases, each with a range of causes and symptoms, every neuromuscular disease center must have extensive expertise. By pooling research and knowledge, we can offer specialized care at each center, ensuring that patients receive the highest standard of care tailored to their individual needs.

Spierziekten Centrum Nederland (SCN) is partially funded by the
individual neuromuscular disease foundations.
