Who We Are

Autoimmune diseases affecting multiple organs of the body are recently increasing Worldwide. Many patients suffering from these diseases are losing their livelihoods because of late diagnosis and lack of proper treatment. There are various reasons for this delay in diagnosis includes patient unawareness about the symptoms & the specialty branch (Rheumatology) available for its treatment, lack of training among primary healthcare providers to diagnose these diseases early and refer at an appropriate time and lack of proper infrastructure in our state to treat these patients. The delay to diagnosis is important because it is known that the earlier the diagnosis, early treatment can be started and the better the outcome will be. A delay in diagnosis is costly because this has huge impact on the patient life by a loss in quality of life, employment and many domains like chronic pain, fatigue, mental health issue or deformities. Awareness is the key to address this issue.
