“It’s not just about medication, it’s about mindset, meals, and meaningful care.” This was the central message as Nuffield Clinic observed World Lupus Day on May 10th.

As part of global Lupus Awareness Month, Nuffield Clinic observed World Lupus Day on May 10th with a multidisciplinary educational event themed “Empowering Health, Inspiring Hope.” The program brought together patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to raise awareness about lupus and provide practical tools for managing the condition holistically.

The Lupus Awareness Day event, which was led by Dr. Maame Boatemaa Amissah-Arthur, Consultant Rheumatologist at Nuffield Clinic, provided an in-depth overview of lupus, highlighting its complexity, the importance of early diagnosis, and the benefits of personalized treatment plans. She emphasized that while lupus is a lifelong condition, it can be effectively managed with the right support systems in place.

Recognizing that Lupus impacts mental as well as physical health, Miss Priscilla Kushigbeor, a clinical psychologist, addressed the psychological challenges of living with a chronic illness. She encouraged patients to seek mental health support, adopt mindfulness techniques, lean on support networks to build resilience and improve emotional well-being.
