✨ Collaboration between healthcare professionals, organizations, and communities
At the heart of it all is a powerful reminder: awareness remains essential. Too many children still go undiagnosed or untreated simply because these conditions are not widely recognized.

đź’ś Lupus is real, misunderstood, and affecting more children than many realize.
This year, PAFLAR commemorated World Lupus Day by raising awareness about the myths surrounding lupus and the silent battles faced daily by both patients and medical practitioners.

Some of the powerful insights from the discussion included:
-Lupus does occur in Black people.
-In children, it can present with very worrying symptoms that are easily overlooked.
-In many tropical regions, lupus symptoms are often mistaken for malaria, delaying diagnosis
