Today we are proud to stand with the IBD community.

IBD also affects many people who live with #AxialSpondyloarthritis (#axSpA).

Access to healthcare should not depend on where you live!

Lupus affects more than five million people worldwide — yet for too many of them, the goal of care remains simply managing symptoms rather than pursuing remission. That's not good enough.

The Global Remission Coalition is calling on policymakers and health systems everywhere to make remission the standard — not the exception — for every lupus patient.

Efforts to improve rates of remission for inflammatory rheumatic diseases face a formidable challenge in systemic barriers that hinder progress. Several roadblocks obstruct the path to better outcomes for patients:

⛔ Patients are left on their own to manage their condition
⛔ Inadequate resources in the health workforce
⛔ Gaps in the health care system

Good to see an esteemed scientific journal highlighting the importance of patients being supported to pursue #remission by highlighting the work of the Global Remission Coalition - do check it out! #ThePursuitIsOn

[Global Remission Coalition @globalremission]

Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are among the leading causes of disability worldwide, yet they remain underprioritized in national and global health agendas. A new article published in the Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America journal takes a closer look at this challenge and highlights that remission is now an achievable goal for many with inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

Around 135 million people may be affected by inflammatory rheumatic conditions. The need to act is greater than ever!
