🔬 A new trial has demonstrated that Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease affecting millions, can be effectively treated with shorter and lower doses of benznidazole. This is a significant finding as it not only reduces the side effects associated with the treatment but also increases adherence to the medication regimen. 🌍 Chagas disease is a serious health concern in many parts of the world, and this development could potentially improve the lives of those affected by it. 👏 Kudos to the research team led by Dr. Pau Bosch-Nicolau, Dr. Maria L Fernández, and Dr. Elena Sulleiro for their work. 🔗 For more details on the study, visit: https://buff.ly/47FmnjY #Chagas #MedicalResearch #Healthcare #GlobalHealth #MULTIBENZ #NTDs

Rare Disease Day is in 4 days! Send a letter to your editor about the importance of Rare Disease Day, check out the template here: https://bit.ly/RareLetter – Image Description: The Burden of Rare Disease. Patients with rare diseases incur nearly half of all health care costs in the U.S. It’s a financial burden we all share.

Join RDI in calling for a World Health Assembly Resolution on Rare Diseases asking for a Global Action Plan on Rare Diseases to ensure that no one in the world has to wait years for a diagnosis. It takes an average of six years to diagnose a rare disease. Long delays in diagnosis can reduce treatment options, worsen symptoms, and increase the emotional and financial burdens on Persons Living with a Rare Disease and their families. We must strengthen primary health care and referral pathways with the explicit aim of guaranteeing the timely and accurate diagnosis of people with rare diseases, wherever in the world they live. Join us in calling for a #Resolution4Rare to improve early diagnosis outcomes for PLWRD and make sure that #HealthforAll leaves no one behind.
