Leprosy, an ancient disease that dates back 4,000 years, is often misunderstood as a disease of the past. However, the reality is that around 200,000 people are diagnosed with leprosy each year, and millions more are believed to have the disease without diagnosis. Tragically, many individuals are left with lifelong disabilities due to delayed treatment. Communities must understand the ongoing impact of leprosy and support efforts to improve early detection and treatment.

Today is Paget's Awareness Day and this disease of the bone is not often publicised in the media. Paget’s disease is a chronic condition which interferes with your body’s normal bone remodelling process. Bone remodelling is a process in which new bone tissue gradually replaces old bone tissue. This relationship is vital to maintain normal calcium levels in our blood. Over time, the disease can cause affected bones to become fragile and misshapen. Find out more about this disease including causes, diagnosis, symptoms, complications and treatment from the Paget's Association. https://hubs.ly/Q02g5JKx0 If you need support at home whilst living with Paget’s disease, Curam have almost 9000 vetted and insured carers throughout the UK, many of whom will have the care experience that you need. Find your carer here: https://hubs.ly/Q02g5LMh0 #PagetsAwarenessDay

For this Rare Disease Day, I’d like to share a dream with the Rare Disease #Community and imagine a world: 👉 where all newborns are screened for rare and devastating diseases, no matter where they are born, 👉 where families don’t have to face countless consultations before finding the right diagnosis – which is not only painful for them, but also totally inefficient for healthcare systems. I would like to start seeing #decisionmakers acting with the sense of urgency these babies deserve, acting as if every child in need was their own.
