FONDAZIONE IL BENE NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION

Set up in September 2011, the non-profit organisation Fondazione Il Bene supports the activity of the Il BeNe Centre (named after Bellaria Neurosciences), an authorised diagnostic and treatment facility for syndromes recognised as rare neurological and  neuroimmune diseases. Under the direction of Dr Fabrizio Salvi, the centre is part of the Department of Neuroscience of the Bologna Health Unit, at the Complex Operational Department (U.O.C.) of Neurology of the Bellaria hospital of Bologna. The Il BeNe Centre of IRCCS (Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico) of the Bellaria hospital in Bologna is currently treating around 2,000 patients, of whom 1,300 affected by multiple sclerosis, 300 suffering from myasthenia and more than 300 with other rare diseases.
The main aim of Il BeNe Centre is to provide complete answers to patients affected by neurological and neuroimmune diseases such as amyloidosis, ataxia, Behcet’s disease, Charcot Marie Tooth disease, spastic paraparesis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Von Hippel-Lindau disease, myasthenia gravis and MS. Marchesini Group’s support helped to purchase an ultrasound machine that will allow more accurate and detailed diagnosis of the state of the illness.
