International Kawasaki Disease Awareness Day 26th January 2025
This weekend our iconic HQ in #Newark will light up red to raise awareness of #Kawasaki_Disease the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK.
We NEED you to KNOW Kawasaki Disease....
...And here’s why ??
- UK hospital admissions for Kawasaki Disease have increased rapidly over the past decade.
- Low awareness of Kawasaki Disease means it’s often misdiagnosed, putting children’s hearts at risk of lifetime damage.
- Rapid rise in admissions for those with heart complications due to childhood Kawasaki Disease now being seen.
- We NEED people to KNOW the signs and symptoms of Kawasaki Disease so children can be diagnosed and treated rapidly – to reduce the risk of lifelong heart damage
- Kawasaki Disease is the #1 cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK.
