The Value of Treatment for Brain Disorders (VOT) is a health economics and outcomes research project coordinated by the European Brain Council (EBC). According to the World Health Organization, disorders of the brain affect up to one in three people worldwide. 

A second round (VOT2) on new therapeutic areas was launched in 2019, focusing on The Value of Early Diagnosis and Coordinated Care for Rare Diseases (Ataxia, Dystonia and Phenylketonuria); and The Value of Early Intervention and Continuity of Care for Mental Disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder).

Prof. Anita MacDonald will present a case study on phenylketonuria (PKU) at the 14th European Paediatric Neurology Society Congress in Glasgow, on 1 May (10:20 – 10:40).
