Scores of Jamaicans continue to suffer the debilitating effects of Lupus. The Lupus Foundation continues to support the fight against Lupus through its education programmes, advocacy and support to persons to living with the disease.
On May 10, LFJ will be joining in with lupus groups across the world as we observe World Lupus Day 2022 under the theme LUPUS LEVEL UP: Make Lupus Visible. We will be engaging all our members, supporters, media partners, community organisations, the public at large and all our online and social media increase awareness of lupus, specifically this year on the impact of lupus on the body’s organs.
