It is hard to believe it’s September already let alone aHUS Awareness Day. Six or more months of a COVID 19 year is having that affect on all that is happening this year.
But hear we are. For many when this blog is published it is still the 23rd September but aHUS Awareness Day has just started in the mid Pacific Ocean. aHUS Awareness Day is a global event and so lasts more than 24 hours.
Not heard from anyone from Tuvalu yet but this blog is an opportunity for anyone to tell us what they have done for, doing or planning to do , on aHUS Awareness Day over the next 48 hours!
The aHUS alliance has received a copy of a booklet produced by experts from the All India Institute of Medicine and ICMR Advanced Centre for Research in New Dehli for aHUS Awareness Day. It is a handbook for parents for children with haemolytic uraemic syndrome. A copy can be seen in the following link below. It is clearly written with excellent illustrations.
