WORLD HEPATITIS DAY

𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗛𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬 (𝗪𝗛𝗗)

28TH JULY, 2021

Every year, World Hepatitis Day is commemorated to promote awareness of viral hepatitis, a liver inflammation that can lead to severe liver disease and, in some circumstances, cancer. The theme for this year emphasizes the importance of making the necessary measures to eliminate hepatitis as a public health hazard by 2030. This is because: 

•People who are unaware they have hepatitis can’t wait for testing 

•People who have been diagnosed with hepatitis can’t wait for life-saving treatments. 

•Hepatitis patients eagerly await the end of stigma and discrimination. 

•Pregnant women can’t wait to be screened for  hepatitis 

•Newborns can’t wait for their first dose of immunization.

•Today, we urge people all over the world to take action and increase hepatitis awareness because Hepatitis Can’t Wait. 

•With so many people dying from hepatitis-related illnesses, and much more in the current COVID-19 crisis, it’s clear that more needs to be done.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center  #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

  North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC!  I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference.  It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies.  I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
