𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺. 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦. 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯. Throughout history, leprosy has been given many names – yet the faces behind it have often gone forgotten. People affected by leprosy are often shunned, ostracized, stigmatized. This builds barriers to access to treatment instead of breaking them down. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Novartis donating multidrug therapy (MDT) through the World Health Organization. To date, more than 7.5 million people worldwide received treatment, which has helped reduce the number of cases by more than 95% over the last four decades. On today’s #WorldLeprosyDay, we remain committed to achieving our global vision of #ZeroLeprosy, supporting our partners and all those affected by leprosy to eliminate this ancient disease.

Did you ever think about the need for blood in war? Did you know war has led to the advancement in Transfusion Therapy? Wars leave lasting scars, but amidst the chaos, blood emerges as a symbol of both life and death. While associated with the brutality of warfare, blood plays a crucial role in saving lives on and off the battlefield. Throughout history, conflicts like World War I and II spurred advancements in blood transfusion and the establishment of organized blood banking systems. The urgent need to treat wounded soldiers led to pioneering efforts in blood collection, preservation, and transportation, laying the foundation for modern practices. Innovations such as the use of citrate as an anticoagulant and the development of plastic blood bags revolutionized blood storage and transport. In modern warfare, blood remains essential for treating injuries from explosions, gunshots, and other traumatic events. Medical teams in conflict zones face unique challenges, leading to innovations like portable blood banks and drones for blood delivery in remote areas. The impact of war on blood donation extends beyond the battlefield. The spirit of sacrifice during conflict has inspired many to become regular blood donors. Veterans and their families play a significant role in supporting blood donation initiatives, understanding the importance of blood in saving lives. As wars persist, continued research is crucial for improving blood collection, storage, and transfusion practices in conflict zones. Raising awareness about the need for blood donation ensures adequate supplies for both military and civilian populations during crises. Scientists are working on developing universal and synthetic blood, which can be mass-produced in laboratories and stored for longer periods, offering hope for the future. The relationship between blood and war is multifaceted. While blood represents the horrors of conflict, it also embodies hope and healing. By supporting blood donation and improving blood services, we can ensure this life-saving resource is available to all in times of crisis, both in war and peace. #BloodDonation #MedicalInnovation #Healthcare #WarAndPeace #BloodBanking #Veterans #LifeSaving #HealthcareAdvancements https://wix.to/8UcdyCX #newblogpost

Venesection is the most effective treatment for managing haemochromatosis. Through venesection treatment (or phlebotomy), excess iron is removed from the body, helping to prevent damage to organs like the liver, heart, and joints. The process is simple and similar to a blood donation, and it plays a crucial role in managing iron overload. For people with haemochromatosis, regular venesections can help keep iron levels under control and improve overall health. If you or someone you know is living with the condition, speak to your doctor about how you can plan your venesection treatment. Remember, early intervention makes a huge difference. Share this post to help others understand how this treatment works! 💙 #HaemochromatosisAwareness #Phlebotomy #IronOverload #TreatmentForHaemochromatosis #BloodDonation #IronHealth #HaemochromatosisTreatment #HealthFirst #EarlyDiagnosis #ManageIronLevels
