This month is coeliac awareness month. With a prevalence of 1 in 100, hundreds of thousands of people in the UK have coeliac disease, but only 36% have received a diagnosis. It is therefore estimated that 500,000 people in the UK are living with undiagnosed coeliac disease. Coping with unexplained health problems without diagnosis can have significant effects on both mental and physical health. NICE guideline NG20 states; when healthcare professionals request serological tests to investigate suspected coeliac disease in young people and adults laboratories should test for IgA tissue transglutaminase (tTG) as the first choice. With the HOB BioCLIA 500 or BioCLIA 6500 testing for IgA (or IgG) anti-tTG is quick and easy, with a large range of further autoimmune assays also available on the platforms.

🩺 It’s rare diseases day! And this gives us the chance to raise awareness about this type of diseases. Most of them are lifelong, life-limiting conditions, which impact the quality of life of both the people who are affected by the disease and their caregivers; and, very often, they have no treatment options or cure.   At Novo Nordisk, we are committed to drive change through innovative treatments to improve the lives of our patients living with rare blood, endocrine and renal disorders, with a clear goal: create a better future for people living with rare disease. Generating awareness to guarantee a quicker diagnosis and guarantee patients can live their life as they wish.   🤝Want to contribute to driving change to defeat chronic diseases?

July 10th is the day for Chronic disease awareness. Chronic diseases are defined broadly as conditions that last 1 year or more and require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living or both. Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in many countries. On the other hand, a high percentage of deaths result from health negligence on our part as individuals, we neglect the need for regular BP checks, sugar level checks, regular exercising and monitoring the food we consume. We understand that financial constraints limit this hence our constant organization of medical outreach programs and provision of medical consultation, education and supplies for the communities we visit. We urge as many who desire a healthy lifestyle to always be on the lookout for our programs and make the most of it. We prioritize health and urge you to do the same.
