World Ankylosing Spondylitis Month
What is World Ankylosing Spondylitis Day about?
World Ankylosing Spondylitis Day, also known as World AS Day, is celebrated each year on the first Saturday of May to raise awareness and ensure prompt treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a chronic, progressive, auto-immune disease that affects mainly the spine, hips, neck and joints. Fusion of the spinal bones is one of the most dreaded consequence of Ankylosing Spondylitis.[1]
Ankylosing Spondylitis cannot be cured, but new medical therapies are now available that can help delay spinal fusion and manage symptoms better.[2][3]
This World AS DAY let us strengthen our resolve to help AS patients manage their condition better.
