World Thyroid Week is scheduled for 25-31 May 2022, promoted by the leading scientific societies for endocrinology, medicine and surgery. This year it focuses on correct information, which is essential to dispel the (numerous) false myths, and to encourage people to only rely on competent doctors and specialists. It will be an opportunity to raise awareness of prevention and proper management of diseases that can affect the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, more than six million Italians suffer from more or less serious disorders resulting from incorrect thyroid function.
IBSA, which has always promoted educational and awareness projects, will be among the event’s main supporters.
'Thyroid health' is one of the most frequent searches on search engines. However, DIY diagnosis can be extremely risky. Hence the 2022 edition offers the opportunity to urge people to always refer to accredited sources of information and, especially, to family doctors and specialists.
During this key event, IBSA will once again play a leading role with the 'Tell Your Story' campaign with Vanessa Ferrari, a project designed to involve people who have to deal with thyroid diseases and disorders on a daily basis. They will be invited to tell their story and share how they have faced this challenge and achieved balance.
