Thank u, Hon. PM for this much needed initiative. Health indices are also important indicators of our country's growth. For a long time, many health leaders of our country did not believe in HPV vaccination. @uicc @cspramesh @PMOIndia @WHO

It was wonderful to attend the International Pediatric Stroke Organization (@curekidstroke) Congress with other members of the @moyamoyafdn. We made so many wonderful connections with brilliant clinicians and researchers. #RareDiseaseTruth

Wow! The @curekidstroke conference was an amazing opportunity to connect with 250 #medical #professionals, #scientists, + a few #advocates from around the world! Exciting to see the #innovation, #research, & #collaboration for #pediatricstroke!

On #lynchsyndrome day I pledge to help find the 95% of people who carry Lynch syndrome & don’t know they have it 1:300 of us have it Knowing is power By knowing we can help mitigate the cancer risk If you don’t know there is just risk Find out more @LynchSyndromeUK @eveappeal

This is so important. Very proud to be a member of this group and to be part of this effort to get ICD10 codes specific for Lynch Syndrome (by gene)! #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth – at Lewis Center, OH
We are proud to announce that the #FightCRC Genetics and Family History Advisory Council is leading an initiative, alongside nearly 150 patient advocacy organizations, medical societies, and medical professionals, to submit an application to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) Coordination and Maintenance Committee to create a code specifically for #LynchSyndrome.

For #LynchSyndromeAwarenessDay this is your reminder that:
💠 Lynch syndrome is common (1:279 individuals)
💠 Lynch syndrome is actionable (increased surveillance/prevention options lead to better outcomes)
💠 Lynch syndrome is underdiagnosed (most people are not aware that they have it)
