The need for awareness about Parkinson's disease in Uganda is at an all time high.. it will save life if we all get behind this awareness campaign.

[Parkinson's Si Buko @si_parkinson]

Parkinson's disease (PD) negatively affects the quality of life. There is limited information on PD published from Uganda. Lack of adequate knowledge poses a barrier in the provision of appropriate treatment and care for individuals with PD. Some signs are often misinterpreted.

Women in many parts of the world are dependent upon others to get access to treatment.

[Parkinson's Si Buko @si_parkinson]

Women with Parkinson’s may feel like their concerns aren't being taken seriously and therefore, a sensitive approach should be adopted towards their concerns regarding menstruation and menopause.

What is Parkinson's Disease ?
Traditionally, PD has been considered a non-genetic disorder. However, around 15% of individuals with PD have a first-degree relative who has the disease…Mutations in specific genes have been conclusively shown to cause PD.
