New Video Outlines a Roadmap to Better Care on Gout Awareness Day
Video Features Five Steps to Improve Gout Patients' Lives
WASHINGTON, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Alliance for Gout Awareness today released a video with steps to improve the lives of over 9 million Americans living with gout.
The video highlights five key solutions to improve gout care:
Providing up-to-date resources for health care providers to ensure a timely diagnosis
Improving treatment guidance
Encouraging earlier and more frequent testing for gout
Increasing awareness, especially for communities disproportionately impacted by gout
Removing access barriers that keep patients from treating gout
The video is based upon a recent paper from the Alliance for Gout Awareness.
On May 22, patients, providers and advocates come together to raise awareness of this debilitating form of inflammatory arthritis. Despite gout's prevalence, misconceptions keep people from seeking treatment, leaving them to suffer in silence.
STATEMENT FROM JOSIE COOPER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALLIANCE FOR GOUT AWARENESS
"This video is another tool that can guide patients through their journey with gout. By raising awareness about how to improve care, more patients can seek treatment and reclaim their quality of life."
