The immune system is your body’s defence against disease and pathogens.1 In immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, the immune system wrongly attacks its own tissues and causes inflammation, pain, and can result in loss of function.23
Nearly 1 in 10 people in Europe are living with an immune-mediated inflammatory disease.4
Living with an immune-mediated inflammatory disease has a similar impact on psychological and physical functioning to cancer, heart disease and hypertension.56
