October marks Health Literacy Month. This month, health leaders and organizations across the US are working to encourage people and organizations to make health information accessible and easy for everyone to understand.
Health literacy helps to improve overall health outcomes, which is an essential part of our mission. For 35 years, we’ve been dedicated to supporting the PI community and encouraging public awareness about PI by making information available and accessible worldwide to promote earliest possible diagnosis.
For PI patients, a better understanding of their disease and access to proper treatment may give them a better chance of survival and put an end to their diagnostic odyssey. We are committed to providing accurate and up-to-date information for our global patient community, which is why we created the 10 Warning Signs of PI poster to ensure earliest possible diagnosis.
If you or someone you know is affected by two or more of the warning signs, speak to a physician about the possible presence of an underlying Primary Immunodeficiency. You can find the 10 Warning Signs in over 40 languages on our website: https://info4pi.org/library/educational-materials/?slug=10-warning-signs-international. Together, we can improve health literacy about PI worldwide!
