SUMMARY:World Immunisation Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Immunization Week – celebrated in the last week of April (24 to 30 April) – aims to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. Immunization saves millions of lives every year and is widely recognized as one of the world’s most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Yet\, there are still nearly 20 million children in the world today who are not getting the vaccines they need. \nThe theme this year is #VaccinesWork for All and the campaign will focus on how vaccines – and the people who develop\, deliver and receive them – are heroes by working to protect the health of everyone\, everywhere. \nSteady progress but fragile gains\nIn 2018\, an estimated 116 million children were vaccinated with received 3 doses of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP3) vaccine\, protecting them against infectious diseases that can cause serious illness and disability or be fatal. Many low- and middle-income countries have taken huge strides in increasing immunization coverage. \nBut despite gains\, all targets for disease elimination – including measles\, rubella and maternal and neonatal tetanus – are unlikely to be achieved by the end of 2020. Over the last two years\, the world has seen multiple outbreaks of measles\, diphtheria\, pertussis and other vaccine-preventable diseases. \nFor everyone\, everywhere to survive and thrive\, countries must intensify efforts to ensure all people receive the lifesaving benefits of vaccines. Additionally\, those countries that have achieved or made progress towards the goals must work to sustain the progress they have made. \n“Vaccines are one of our most important tools for preventing outbreaks and keeping the world safe. While most children today are being vaccinated\, far too many are left behind. Unacceptably\, it’s often those who are most at risk– the poorest\, the most marginalized\, those touched by conflict or forced from their homes – who are persistently missed.” \n– Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus\, Director-General of the World Health Organization \n2020 campaign objectives\nThe main goal of the campaign is to urge greater engagement around immunization globally and the importance of vaccination in improving health and wellbeing of everyone\, everywhere throughout life. \nAs part of the 2020 campaign\, WHO and partners aim to: \n\nDemonstrate the value of vaccines for the health of children\, communities and the world.\nShow how routine immunization is the foundation for strong\, resilient health systems and universal health coverage.\nHighlight the need to build on immunization progress while addressing gaps\, including through increased investment in vaccines and immunization.\n\nGiven that WHO has designated 2020 the International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife\, WHO will highlight nurses and midwives for their crucial role as early vaccine champions for new parents and parents-to-be. \nWhy immunization matters\nExpanding access to immunization is vital for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals\, poverty reduction and universal health coverage. Routine immunization provides a point of contact for health care at the beginning of life and offers every child the chance at a healthy life\, from the earliest beginnings and into old age. \nImmunization is also a fundamental strategy in achieving other health priorities\, from controlling viral hepatitis\, to curbing antimicrobial resistance\, and providing a platform for adolescent health and improving antenatal and newborn care.

SUMMARY:World Haemophilia Day
DESCRIPTION:The theme of World Hemophilia Day in 2020 is “Get+involved”. It’s a call to action for everyone to help drive the WFH vision of “Treatment for all” at the community and global level. Whether you are a patient\, a family member or caregiver\, a corporate partner\, a volunteer\, or a healthcare provider\, we want to encourage you to help increase the awareness of inherited bleeding disorders and the need to make access to adequate care possible everywhere in the world. \nThis landmark day also helps to illustrate the importance the WFH has developed to support the bleeding disorders community. The WFH Humanitarian Aid Program provides a range of integrated care development training programs to ensure the local infrastructure and medical expertise are available to optimize and appopriately use donated prodcts. The Global Alliance for Progress (GAP) Program was developed to greatly increase the diagnosis and treatment of people with bleeding disorders by closing the gap in treatme of people with bleeding disorders by closing the gap in treatment between developed and developing countries. \nStay tuned as we take together the first step to care! \n\n\n\nJoin us once again in showing your support to the global bleeding disorders community by taking part in the World Hemophilia Day Light it Up Red! campaign. Last year\, thousands of people worldwide united to show their support by lighting up over 70 major landmarks in cities across the world.\n\nWe invite you to take part in this initiative by encouraging a local landmark (big or small) to light it up red. Post photos and engage with the bleeding disorders community on social media pages and share what World Hemophilia Day means to you!

SUMMARY:Parkinson's Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:Parkinson’s Awareness Week aims to raise awareness about this potentially devastating condition. \nDuring this week\, individuals are encouraged to hold their own event with family\, friends and colleagues. These events support the awareness and research work for Parkinson’s UK (formerly known as the Parkinson’s Disease Society). \nFunding is needed for vital research work into the causes and treatments of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s UK also works to support those living day to day with this condition. \nEach year Parkinson’s Awareness Week focuses on a different aspect of this condition. For example during 2014\, the main focus was ‘Control’\, which raised awareness about how people with this disease control and live with the symptoms and progressive nature of Parkinson’s. \nAnother focus of Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Week is to increase media coverage of this condition. The greater the coverage the more people know what it is like to live or care for somebody with Parkinson’s Disease. \nParkinson’s Disease In Brief\nWhat is Parkinson’s Disease?\nA progressive neurological condition\, Parkinson’s Disease affects actions including talking\, walking and writing. Parkinson’s Disease is named after a London doctor\, Dr James Parkinson (1755-1824) who identified Parkinson’s Disease as a condition in its own right. \nWhat is Parkinsonism?\nOther disorders and Diseases can also include the major symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinsonism is the term given to the collective symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease and other related Diseases. Often referred to as idiopathic* Parkinson’s Disease\, Parkinson’s Disease is the most common form of parkinsonism. Other types of parkinsonism include progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Both progressive supra nuclear and multiple system atrophy are rarer conditions than Parkinson’s Disease. \n*idiopathic referring to unknown cause. \nWhat causes Parkinson’s Disease?\nParkinson’s Disease arises due to a loss of nerve cells in the substantia nigra; a part of the brain affected by Parkinson’s Disease. Nerve cells in the substantia nigra produce the chemical dopamine\, a neurotransmitter\, which transmits nerve impulses and allows signals to be sent to other areas of the brain which coordinate movement. A reduction in these dopamine producing cells causes reduced function in the areas of the brain responsible for coordinating movement. About an 80% reduction in dopamine will bring on the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. \nWhat are the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease? \nMotor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease include tremor\, slowness of movement (known as bradykinesia) and stiffness or rigidity of muscles. \nNon motor symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease may also be experienced. These include constipation\, depression\, sleep disturbances and urinary urgency. \nThese are often differences in severity and the type of symptoms displayed between individuals. \nWhat research is being taken into Parkinson’s Disease?\nResearch into Parkinson’s Disease broadly falls into two categories: genetic and environment research. \nGenetic research into Parkinson’s Disease has so far identified 9 genes linked to this condition. The parkin gene is the gene most commonly associated with Parkinson’s Disease. Scientific research aims to determine which factors are involved in the creation\, maintenance and destruction of the dopamine producing neurons. \nEnvironment research into Parkinson’s Disease focuses on possible environmental factors associated with Parkinson’s Disease. \nIs there a way to prevent Parkinson’s Disease?\nAt present there is no way to prevent Parkinson’s Disease. However\, current research is focusing on finding a biochemical abnormality which all individuals with Parkinson’s Disease might share. However such findings would help more to predict not prevent Parkinson’s Disease. These biochemical abnormalities are known as biomarkers. \nIf discovered\, a biomarker could be found through a chemical test given to individuals who currently do not show any symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Screening techniques could also be used to show the presences of a biomarker. \nThere are rare cases where individuals have an inherited form of Parkinson’s Disease. With such cases researchers could test for known genetic mutations as a means to determine an individual’s risk of having the disease.
