Awareness |
CanPKU+ believes that creating awareness around Tyrosinemia Type-1 and other rare diseases helps patients…Because Knowledge Leads to Better Health. When people are aware of a condition, they are more likely to be understanding and supportive. This might be as simple as ensuring that there are appropriate food choices at the next party your child attends, or it might mean that a politician will fight on your behalf for coverage of treatments. Gérard Tremblay, père de Jeannick Tremblay, préside un regroupement de parents d’enfants tyrosinémiques. Il s’est lui aussi réjoui de voir que Québec investit pour venir en aide aux familles. |
