Balkan chronic disease awareness and patient advocacy
Overview
Health organizations across the Balkans continue to conduct awareness campaigns and advocate for improved patient care regarding chronic non-communicable diseases.
In Serbia, the Association of Multiple Myeloma Patients is participating in the European Myeloma Day campaign. Supported by the International Myeloma Foundation and Myeloma Patients Europe, the initiative utilizes a ‘Myeloma Diagnosis Pathway’ to educate general practitioners on recognizing early symptoms to prevent disease progression.
In Croatia, National Multiple Sclerosis Day was observed in Đurđevac under the slogan ‘When support becomes strength’. While organizers noted improvements in treatment and diagnostic accessibility for the more than 8,000 people living with MS in the country, they emphasized the ongoing need for specialized MS centers and the difficulties patients face regarding employment.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Inter-municipal Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Prijedor marked its 70th anniversary during the International Day of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. The association highlighted persistent challenges, including employment hurdles and the high cost of medication for elderly members.
