PAHAN's main objective is to establish itself as a network of researchers focused on ataxia in the American continents. The network will favor exchange such that collaborative studies between different centers and countries are intensified and that knowledge about hereditary ataxias grows in the region, improving medical care for ataxics in the Americas. Finally, PAHAN will seek to establish an ataxia registry for the American continents and the Caribbean, favoring epidemiological studies and the readiness of these populations for clinical trials to come.
