April marks #NationalMinorityCancerAwarenessMonth & #NationalMinorityHealthMonth. Let's shed light on the disproportionate impact cancer has on minority communities and how health disparities, influenced by socio-economic factors like obesity, diabetes, and infections such as Covid-19, worsen cancer outcomes, can complicate treatment and increase side effects. We can address these disparities through education, early detection, and culturally competent healthcare services. Empowering patients with relevant information is key to fostering healthier outcomes and eliminating health disparities. #NMHM24 Learn how to be the #SourceforBetterHealth on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website: https://lnkd.in/eFyydTnd

When managing a cancer diagnosis, it can feel overwhelming to also have to navigate complex health systems. The Australian public health system has three layers (or tiers) of government leading, funding and managing different parts. About half the population is also a part of the private health system. It’s a lot to understand and to navigate. We created the Rare Cancer Support Guide to help patients make their way through diagnosis, treatment and beyond within these systems. The Treatment booklet covers topics such as: 🏥 How the health system works 🏥 How to manage your health information 🏥 How subsidising treatment works 🏥 Health system costs, including out-of-pocket costs and considerations Download your free copy to learn more: https://bit.ly/3OInM2N #RCSG #cancersupport

The prevention and control of NCDs require a comprehensive and accessible knowledge base, enabling the public and healthcare workers to gain better knowledge, make informed decisions, and implement effective strategies. To address this critical need, there is a need to simplify messaging and make knowledge accessible for easier understanding, leveraging the use of technology and artificial intelligence.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S., but awareness remains low, with only 44% recognizing it as their main health risk. This #WomensMonth, we at Cardio Diagnostics Holdings Inc. are supporting a push for better diagnostic tools and focused awareness efforts to change this. In order to move the needle on this issue, it's important to both improve technology for detecting heart disease and increase awareness among women about their risks.

At least 30,000 individuals in the United States are estimated to have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at any given time and while there are services to help manage symptoms, there are currently no treatments that stop or reverse disease progression. A new National Academies report recommends actions Congress, federal agencies, insurers, and others should take to strengthen health care and support services for people with ALS and accelerating research on therapies for the disease — with the goal of turning ALS into a livable disease within a decade.
