The Foundation
A nonprofit foundation born from the union of patients and professionals, with a clear mission: to defend the rights of those living with a rheumatic disease.
Putting the person at the centre of rheumatic health
Fundación Rheumatos is a nonprofit foundation, made up of people with rheumatic diseases and multidisciplinary professionals, whose goal is to defend the rights, interests and needs of people affected by a rheumatic or musculoskeletal disease.
We believe the lived experience of those with the disease is as valuable as clinical knowledge. That is why we bring both voices together to support, inform and transform healthcare for the benefit of patients and their families.
We advocate for comprehensive, multidisciplinary, person-centred care, with early access to specialists and the best available treatment, always agreed with the person themselves and everyone involved in their care.

We break the mould: we place the person, their dignity and their quality of life above everything else. These are the values that guide every step.
